So, I was thinking about something just now. I was just reading chapter 99, where Jasdebi are talking to Allen about the debts that Cross left them. Jasdero says that their debts add up to 100 guineas. I wasn't sure what kind of currency this was, so I went to look it up, and I found out that guineas were no longer minted beginning in 1816. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guineas#Nineteenth_century) So, I was wondering, if the series takes place in the 19th century, do you think that the reasonable timespan that the series takes place in is between 1800 and 1816?

Sorry for the rant, lol. xD

I think that given the level of common technology we see (Bell's patent on the telephone was 1877), it might be safer to say that the story is set closer to the end of the 19th century.

That said, I think the mangaka is playing a little fast and loose with history in the series (it is an AU, after all).
