Not sure if this is still in question, but the real stuff is available. I know several calligraphers who use it. Cheap it is not.

Thanks Steve. I'll run this site by my pastor and see if he is still interested in doing the map. I may even try something one day. Maybe not a map; my mapping skills are non-existent. I need to make a map for something I am writing, but am dreading the actual work that has to go into it to make it look right.

You might want to take a look at this auction:

These are seconds and may have noticable flaws (scars or holes). If that would only enhance the look you're going for the price is excellent. I was thinking of picking up a few just to have around for projects.
