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.

I LOVE the eyebrows. "Guys! Guys, don't forget! Make sure your mask has eyebrows on it!"

And now I'm curious: Did some guys do a bad job with their eyebrows? Was there a Cletus the confused? Did some chapters put angry eyebrows on theirs to look tougher?
