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.

The green paint looks like it's arsenic-flavoured.

That's incredible, the craftsmanship is through the roof, that small a form factor was really hard, technologically and it's decoration is likewise incredible.
