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.

Amazing warriors when you consider they didn't have legs.

Is this armor black and blue for anyone else?

Peak flexibility and comfort for plate armor, with full marks for style. 10/10, would wear to ceremonial duties or riot suppression. Would probably go without for large-scale battle, though, not stopping a projectile of the period.
