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!

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
