No, I just did a little dive myself and you’re right that there isn’t much out there describing this. My only source was that it was mentioned in the podcast I mentioned. I’ll edit my post to include error bars. Thanks for pointing this out.

The podcast “American Carnage” is a great journey if you don’t know anything about John Brown. They mention this sword in the podcast, it’s got a hollow compartment in it that contains liquid mercury. The mercury flows forward when it’s swung in a slash, changing the weight distribution of the blade to kill the enemies of abolition with greater prejudice. Based

Edit: My only source for this was the podcast I mentioned, so take it with a grain of salt. I hope it’s true though. It’s such an interesting idea for a sword.

You sure about that? I can’t find any reliable source saying as much.

Historical Artifacts

!historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Create post

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

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
