Hello all,

Can anyone please share some period literature showing miniature daggers, maybe even a photo of one? Just wanted to know if there is some out there, thank you!

... interesting question, William.

Unfortunately I've never seen one. Hope there will be some insights. Thanks for this post.

William I have not seen any literature for a miniature dagger either but sure some exists. As a side note I have always loved the miniature kid’s helmets and hope to pick up a nice example some day. Check out this little fellow he sure is decked out.

great photo, thank you!

Anyone else have a period image with a miniature in it?

Are they shown (even if illustrated) in period sales catalogs from dagger manufacturers?

Thanks for posting, it's great to see the advertisements for these. I think mine might be post war, not sure.

It was interesting to see the period brochures, catalog pages and advertisements for miniatures.

Thanks
