Jack,
When the shop was considering making miniatures in 1965-1966 they forged quite a few miniature blades in several models and put them in the bin. My mini model #1 was made for me in the early 1980's but I'm sure the blade was forged back in the 1960's.
Here are some of those blades that were "liberated" from the shop some time ago. I don't know by whom and it doesn't matter now.
