Hey all,

I clicked on a link to Lutel here on myArmoury earlier, and I found a website ( http://www.lutel-handicraft.com/ ) looking like the Lutel site I knew, but a bit different. Now I thought it was just the same site relooked, but then I saw a message on this "new" site telling me to please not use "these fake websites", among which the Lutel site I knew previously ( http://www.lutel.eu/ ).

Apparently (according to the "new" site) there's been a split between the Lutel team and their webmaster/administrator.

Does anybody here know what exactly is going on and most especially which site (if any) represent the "true" Lutel now? Is http://www.lutel.eu/ a scam or is it the other way around? The products offered are exactly the same... If I want to order from Lutel, who should I order from?

I realise it might be a good idea to contact Lutel itself, but now I have no idea which Lutel to contact... So here I am hoping someone here has a bit of insider information about this strange case of Dr. Lutel and Mr. Lutel.

Cheers,

Simon

Here is the topic with the link you referenced so others can see it, too:

It provides context.

Wow, thanks Nathan, you would've been a wicked gunman in the wild west, as we say here in France about the comics character Lucky Luke, you draw faster than your shadow.

Meanwhile, I'd probably be searching for my revolver in the Rio Grande. Dunno why I am so bad at finding previous threads...

Thanks again.

I do note however that we don't have anything more substantial than word of mouth yet... Wonder if someone's going to take the plunge and try the "new, real" Lutel... It's a pity, Lutel is a very interesting maker, I've been thinking about ordering from them for a long time...

This must really suck for the real members of Lutel, hope it's not gonna bring down the whole thing.
