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 !historyruins@lemmy.world

Oh I'm not saying you were misleading, or even wrong, I even did a quick search for the actual definition of a polearm to make sure I wasn't spouting nonsense, and according to the experts, it is basically a mess. The wikipedia article even has a sizeable section titled "Classification difficulties".
