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.

Is there a video of one of these in action?

The cell phone cameras in the 1600s were really poor quality so a lot of video footage is lost unfortunately
