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.

Why does it have an opening on the belly?

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe that's where you get in from?

Basically how you get into a Sokol space suit.

So these suits were for the the historically accurate Whalers on the Moon.
