Historical Artifacts

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.

That's a neat piece of information, I didn't know it was like that. Still, you need to still be alive in order to collect that wage. I guess that I will be one of the fellas under the shields.
