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 !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

My wrist hurts just looking at it. Gotta be mighty lopsided when its fully loaded before you start shooting

Awesome!

I wonder if the harmonica clip actually plays as a harmonica when emptied and cleaned out.. 🤔

I don't know, but you could blow somebody's brains out.
