To all who might know:

I was idly browsing a number of recommended sites for general recreation
items and came across a website that seems to mostly cater to 17th
century and later objects. I was about to click away when I saw a link
for tents and decided to take a gander, figuring that they might have
something appropriate for a reasonable price. 

Here is what I came across:

http://jas-townsend.com/index.php?cPath=19

Now, the wedge tent near the bottom of the page looks like a hundred
different tents I've seen on a hundred other websites. As far as I can
tell it's an old and traditional style of tent-dwelling. The bell-backed
tent at the top interests me more, though: does anyone know whether this
tent could pass? I know I have seen bell wedges on other sites
proclaimed to be period, but before I drop $300 (and the price is right,
even if the tent isn't very big; heck, even if it doesn't have a
groundcloth I'm okay with spending $300 for a period tent) I want to
know if I would get laughed out of the site. 

Additionally, if anyone has insights as to the company itself or to the
apparent quality of the tent I'd be glad to know. 

Thanks!
