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.

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.
