Hmm, if I took them to my opticians to have lenses fitted they'd just laugh...Dunno if you know of the Jas Townsend site, but they do repro stuff for American War of Independence and other 18th/early 19thc re-enactors: it's interesting just looking through their site, though, at the writing accessories, cooking stuff etc. Some re-enactors try to live the whole 18thc lifestyle. I've also come across Europe-based Revolutionary/Napoleonic war re-enactors' sites that give you the sort of detail of, say, the full contents of a soldier's backpack, that you don't find in regular history books. I love enormous hats, btw, which is how I've come across these things...
