?"I simply feel, speaking as a judge, that anytime one replaces a Period item with a mundane item, it should be explained. That's all...nothing else...no hidden meaning.?

Ryryd?"

So, I presume then if one is judging, say, a handmade dagger, that?one must inquire whether or not the artisan dug, smelted and refined the ore that went into it? Or that every jeweler is potentially marked down for not mining their own gems?

For my part, I am fully prepared to accept without explanation that the average SCA leatherworker does not have a tannery in their back yard, that an armorsmith probably doesn't have their own rolling and stamping gear for sheet metal,? that the gold leaf on that scroll wasn't panned from the creek in the scribe's local park?,? that those ivory buttons don't mean the tailor killed their own elephant, etc.

Quietly reminding himself that buying raw materials happens to be Period.
