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]

That pointy end tho... Gives a whole new meaning to "spooning"...

My bet is the pointy end us where wood or leather used to be.

The details on some of those pointy ends would indicate otherwise. Probably just for fork like uses.

Like the rat-tail Japanese knives have.
