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.

Look if your sword can't cleave cavalry units in half with one stroke its a children's toy. These are blades for real men. The 14th century Hungarian swordsmen were just on that shonen anime character grindset .
