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.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

They all look so cool and like they are having a great time in their armor. Love that for them.

To be fair, I read Japanese and not Chinese, but the character on the Chinese re-enactor's chest appears to just say "man".

Edit: I missed that there's a bit above the character for man, so I don't know exactly what it says.

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk, HAVE AT YOU!

I think it's 'courage' 勇 but the same caveat that I speak japanese and searched in japanese. I searched exactly be cause I thought it couldn't just be 'man' heh
