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]

That looks like it would break the first time you tried to use it in combat.
Looks ok to me, the middle blade appears to be the part at the base a sword would connect with. The side pieces are only there to help catch a blade to break it or disarm someone.
It's not intended to be used to create a massive wound, but it could stab in a pinch.
I meant that those little side blades look like they would break if someone hit them with a sword, which is what happens when you parry.
Maybe if the only point of contact was one of the side blades, but that seems unlikely.
