	This is not a problem at all.  Early on we established that
	wrought iron would be the preferred material if one had it, 
	but that Pure Iron would also be equally desirable over mild
	steel.  Mild steel is also OK if that's all you have.  The
	material isn't crucial.  The quality of the reproduction in
	terms of faith to the originals is the key element.  If you
	can use authentic materials and processes, so much the better,
	but don't let that be a sticking point for you.

	That's good news.  Everything looks to be working out.
