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 other hammer is for lighting the lamp? If so that's really cool. It was already cool though
Yep! Be sure to pull the right trigger, lmao
I guess it makes sense. You keep the lamp off most of the time for safety, then flick it on, do a quick scan, and fire (or not) at your target before ducking back down and extinguishing the lamp.
Probably more of a "You hear a bump in the night, so here's your lantern and your gun in one easy package" sort of thing.
Nowadays I suppose I'd swap that for a pair of IR night goggles and a gun with laser sight. Something like that.
(shit, why am I fantasizing about guns? I hate guns.)
Mounted flashlight. Blind them before they see an even brighter light. It's super effective.
