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.

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.
