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]

congrats on graduating beheading school, son ! we bought you a cool sword as a present
Beheading school like:
One of my favorite stories about executioners is the French executioner Capeluche training the man who was assigned to kill HIM so he'd get it right. One clean chop - it would be terrible to have a botched execution where you linger in agony while some amateur hacks at your half-severed neck!
