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.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

That's a pretty dank share, dog!

Unironically, though, with the kinds of antiques that still proliferate in usage in MENA, I wouldn't be surprised if your gunner was right.

I don't disagree.

Found alongside it was a Cyrillic inscribed Walther Ppk semi-automatic. I thought fer shure brother mouzone would come to claim it, but no such luck. If I can find a picture, I'll share. Tal afar was like fucking Derry, Maine, I swear. Tunnels and shit under the city. Probably a knight from the first crusade down there.
