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]

Looks ok to me, the middle blade appears to be the part at the base a sword would connect with. The side pieces are only there to help catch a blade to break it or disarm someone.
It's not intended to be used to create a massive wound, but it could stab in a pinch.
I meant that those little side blades look like they would break if someone hit them with a sword, which is what happens when you parry.
Maybe if the only point of contact was one of the side blades, but that seems unlikely.
