It seemed more useful to do it this way rather than by century. By century, the African, Indonesian Archipelago, SE Asian, Edo, Qing/Republican, late Korean, American, late European, a lot of the Indian all ends up indecently crammed into 19th century, 20th century.
By century gives a nice set of fine divisions for European stuff.

why not both at once.. manning imperial uses both century and/ or culture as search criterion on their website
so you could look for evereything from manning imperial thats german, or everything thats from the period from 1200-1300 if you searched 1200-1300 youd get weapons from arabic rus, german,. french, and english plus a couple of other cultures
so instead you could search both at once if you wanted to really pinpoint your items when he reaches 1300 he actually lists things by 50 year increments instead of 100, i.e 1350-1400 1400-1450 1450-1500 1500-1550 1550-1600 due to the fasct that arms and armour were so repidly evolving and changing at that period.

All my current swords fall into the medieval European period. I have a migration period sword on order.
