Hi
These are certainly World Wide Arms products. I have an identical set which I bought for my son over 15 years ago. They looked old and were reasonable quality , but copuld well have been made in India in recent times. However just because they were sold by WWA it does not mean they are fake.. WWA have turned some pretty fantastic pieces of Indo Persian gear over the last 40 years ... in the early days Les Rawlinson was always over in India buying up armouries . On another point , I am a friend of Roger Evans .. the only miniatures he is interested in are miniaure bayonets , so I dont think he will be much help here . |

What is key in his work is the pertinant details which often relate to other fields of arms. Despite the focus on bayonets, his attention to collective detail often offers highly relevant clues to other areas. All best regards, Jim |

Hi Stu.
in France, ... in the past ... when artisans want to get the title of "master", they must prepare a project, in their field, and in straight line with their specialty the project achievement will be called; "chef-d'oeuvre" either in English; "masterpiece" but I dunno if the meaning it's the same ? any way, it's a realization at a scale reduced ... the better of the best possible, that the candidate at this title, may realize, then it will be judged by his "pairs" (committee of former masters) who will decide to "receive, master" or not the candidate may be your knifes collection could be, a prove from a craftsmanship of a "master" ? or similar ? this collection seems from a very good "facture" (workmanship ) rgds à + Dom |
