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.

Biggest challenge is finding an armorer capable of that type of work, and how much you're willing to do yourself. https://piped.video/watch?v=Q8LDwmI0RQA is an interesting video about a commissioned piece with gilding and great craftsmanship, they don't specify an exact amount but it was a labor of love for several people to bring it all together.
