Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

For those interested, this is a serial number assigned by museums called an "accession number". They indicate when the artefact joined the collection and how many pieces it's connected to in order to guide researchers to the relevant paperwork.
The ink, as a standard, is completely removable.
