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.

Or a groin shot...
Gotta get the codpiece out for protection AND style ๐
Also, chainmail would cover the gaps.
I wouldn't mind having a full suit of chainmail myself. It's effectively useless today for anything other than roleplaying/reenacting, cause it wouldn't offer much protection against modern weapons and the chances of getting in an actual sword fight are slim. But it would still be cool to own...
