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.

This one is ceremonial, but I'd guess similar swords are intended for mounted soldiers to slash at ground troops. The heavy bit on the tip gives it momentum to carry through when you hit someone.
Tip heavy chopper.
