A friend of mine at a living history site is interested in locating
possible sources for reproduction barbed wire.  Perhaps some wire
companies are still producing 19th century styles?

If anyone knows of a source, I would appreciate hearing about it, on or
off list (maybe someone else is looking for barbed wire, too).  And, does
anyone know of any good publications that deal indepth with
the history/technology/use of barbed wire, something beyond a brief
mention of its invention?  Perhaps someone has just come out with the
definitive new work on the subject.

Thanks!
