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.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

That is a super interesting wire chain design. I have never thought about chains I could actually make and might be useful but this one is easy for me to understand and replicate.
I wonder how the block was made. Probably an investment casting. Was etching silver a thing 1k years ago? The way the fob end was formed inside would also be interesting to know.
