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.

Wait how do you fit the fork in there

[–] PugJesus 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think the scabbard is meant to fit the fork too.

Ah yes, I much prefer a separate scabbard for my forks
