Share your miniature blades!

[corrado26]

Here are my miniatures of blades; there are 8 pieces in my collection, all made in scale 1/5 by a Hungarian artist in the 1960s. All of them have leather grips and the sheeth of the prima plana husar sabre has also a leather cover. All miniatures have the absolutely correct form - without a reference sword they are hardly to distinguish from an original item.

Mini siraui (with a bone "blade") next to a normal sized one.

Enjoy!

Great topic Detlef,

Here are a couple of miniature Kukris from my collection. They are both 14cm long with 9cm blades, 2.8mm spine thickness at the bolster. While they may well have been made for the tourist market they are sharp and very well made with well forged fullers. They could easily serve as matched Kardas for another Kukri from my collection (acquired separately).

Hi Mate,
Thank you very much for sharing, very nice examples! Do you have a clue for what they are worked? They seem to have a good age and seems to be very well worked.

Hello Detlef,

Yes, as I go through the posts on the forum for this type, I see the questions around the name. I will keep this in mind.

Thanks!

Hello Udo,
I haven't had in mind miniatures (copys) from bigger examples but of course they belong to this thread.
I know that Arjan has worked (or still work?) miniatures from ethnograhic weapons, when I remember correct they have been nice like your examples.

Detlef
