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 am going to guess that segmentation provides flexibility, and to down stacking prevents from lateral blows, which most sword blows would look like. It would not be great against anything top-down, but most blows would not likely b elike that (top down stabbing comes to my mind, but that would be rarer i guess, much more rare at start or moddle of fight, because at the end, the winner might like to stab to give a finishing blow)
