Thank you for that post, it was very interesting. I especially liked the parts about the Mandylion and Station 13 that mentions the Sudario. (Mandylion was what the Shroud was called in Byzantium.)
The Sudarium trumps about all arguments against the Shroud being real. More about it here:

I wish I could find a Crucifix that is based on the wounds of Jesus as shown in the Shroud and Sudarium. I would like to have it with a sudarium covering His Face. Seeing the statues covered during Holy Week always affected me, even before I heard about the Sudarium.

If you ever find such a crucifix, or even just a holy picture like that, let me know!
Why This Cross is Different!The physical proportions of the Lords body as well as several details of the passion, such as the placement of the nails, the left foot over the right foot, the lance wound and the crown of thorns are based on the Holy Shroud of Turin.
There are several online religious goods stores that sell the Shroud Crucifix. Do a google search to locate them.
