SARGE Posted June 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2007 Here is an interesting miniature Springfield Rifle. A very detailed little bolt action rifle with bayonet and sling. This was given out to World War I Veterans who attended a 1930 reunion. Notice the real leather sling on the rifle. These mini rifles were popular as letter openers to commemorate military service. Here is a closeup view of the cast in plate on the buttstock of the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
