Default Miniature Springfield Pistol Carbine

Hi,
Alex asked me about the GI Joe prototypes that I have created. I could show some of them but these are more elaborate. The set is one quarter scale. The coin in both pictures is a dime to show the scale. These pieces are a commissioned one of a kind group that an officer would use before the Civil War. The gun and removable stock are fully functional in every way and all blades are steel. Everything is fabricated , nothing is cast. The sword and dirk are carved brass. The blades are engraved. I wish I had my microscope and Lindsay tools when I made these pieces.

Thanks Alex and Dave. There is a very strong market for miniature guns. Especially those pieces that have artistic merit. Here is a very small set of Colt's.
