Just to put the record straight Red Gills are still produced in Cornwall U.K. as they have been since 1968. When my father first produced them, my older brother who was running the business unfortunately died suddenly in August 2003. The firm is currently being managed by a family friend and is doing very well, if the guy from rhode Island has bought the rights to Red Gill I sure haven't seen the cheque yet!We have being supplying RichS for quite a while now and hopefully may be able to reach an agreement to get them produced in the US to cope with demand as we are already stretched to cover our European markets.

I was a little skeptical when I saw the tails said Gillies instead of Red Gill. That said I think the fakes do look just as good as the originals. Looks like a lawsuit might be coming.
