Historical Artifacts

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.

The book the plaque refers to is not in this photo. It was on display, but the photo on it came out poorly. Apologies.

Wow, that's some damn fine workmanship for being stuck in a POW camp

Huh, I just saw an episode of Time Team about the first POW camp which held French soldiers and they made items out of bone with which they traded with the locals.
