   This is an area of interest for me. I made a pair that, from an 
authenticity standard, might be suspect because the pattern is not from 
an archaeological find. From a methodology standpoint and certainly 
appearance, I think I'm good. Keep in mind it's the first pair I've 
ever made.

Jennifer,

    Care to comment?

    I sent Jennifer a pair that were undersized for me. If there is a 
need and it looks like I have a skill set that can help out, I'll be 
glad to pursue and try to get good shoes out to the populous. In 
exchange for gold or goods, of course. Regia has a firm grasp on what 
they like. If someone cares to feed me information on pattern, style 
and archaeology on the "standard" Regia shoe I can make better 
decisions faster.
