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.

The knife reads "che la mia ferita sia mortale", "may my wound be mortal"
Not quite. "Mia" is mine or my. It reads "may my wound be mortal."
„My“ as in „the wounds I suffer“, or „the wounds I cause“?
Indeed. It's more of a declaration or curse to the recipient... "may my wounds I suffer (upon you) be mortal," is how I read it. Suffer being a little less personal and more action oriented, as if to say "inflict upon."
