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 at that grip. You'd get blisters swinging that thing at heretics all day. Best if it stays ceremonial, I think.

Now let us see the non ceremonial fare.

They look like Imperial 40k starships

I think getting hit by one of these to the head would pretty much be fatal.
