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.

Something tells me the "code" is more like: Napoleon's drinking with his officers, and he says: "imagine Wellington, Nelson, Alexander, and Talleyrand are together in a room with me and I only have THIS" (plunks that pistol down on the table) "Who should I shoot?"
spoiler
the answer is: "Talleyrand, three times!"
