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.

Such a beautiful object for such a deadly purpose.

This looks so expensive that I wonder if it was owned by someone who was never near the front lines.

Probably for hunting.
