well i didn't know where to put this, i was thinking in the european section, but then there is a lot of other miniatures that arnt made in europe , although the mini letter opener swords seem to be the bulk.

i was more interested in functional miniature swords, that is little copies of larger swords,
ive seen some very nice chinese miniatures looking to be from the 1900s or so and some miniature kindjals that were perfect replicas of larger form ,
alas i have fotos to share,

occasionaly on ebay these items come up as well , recently i saw a very nice miniature scottish basket hilted sword and in the past some tiny indonesian kris daggers ..

if anyone has in their collection some nice minitures please share

i do wounder how far back making functional miniatures of swords and knives goes??
