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.

Pretty sure the 'sights' are for resting the bolt on

On the one on the right, it looks like there's a rear folding sight of the kind also seen here, though I'm not certain.
