    I gather this is meant to be a showy piece used by some rich dude.

    Is this meant for a final blow in a “hunt?” Swords are pretty bad for hunting compared to arrows and spears.

      I imagine so - I know that’s what European hunting swords were used for, so I presume the same counts here.

    Nice looking, but I’m more partial to the glorified sword-shaped spears that are boar hunting swords

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

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
