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.

I don't like the look of it at all, but somebody really put some work into it!

How can you not like it? it's got almonds and blueberries attached, in case you feel like a snack during battle.

Just gnaw on it like a Nerds rope.
