2 miniatures, moukhala and wheellock pistol

corrado26 · 4th November 2017, 04:51 PM

I got these two miniatures which have been bought in the U.S.A. as told me their seller. Is anybody here able to tell me who produced these items or where I could find other guns or pistols? The miniatures are made from - as I think - cast metal, the locks are of plastic, exactly done but not functional. The total length of the moukhala is 265mm, of the pistol 100mm.
Thanks for comments

These are quite interesting pieces. Someone must be very dedicated to this idea as iirc the cost of producing dies for such an item would be quite expensive.

Avarice.
Pure avarice.
I love that wheellock pistol and would like to have one myself (a metal version is being shipped to me soon). You might want to look on the Facebook page for:

Miniature Arms Society (MAS)

These guys, myself included, are a bit nuts about any miniature weapon, generally half-size or smaller. Someone there may be familiar with these models. MAS is a world-wide organization, started here in the USA some decades ago.

Great miniatures, corrado

These being non actual weapons but a thematic topic per se, let us move it to the Miscellania section.

That's ok

These corrado miniatures are fantastic. As Rick says, developing the patterns for these things is no easy task. I hope corrado finds out their origin.
