while hunting for some Russian silver I found this curious 1:10 modell of a Russian Mosin-Nagant M1891 infantery rifle in silver.







It is very nice and very precise copied from the original - but what for?
Than I remembered that I have seen it:
A soldier of the Czar´s Preopraschensky - Regiment figurine by Fabergé

and a Russian infantery soldier from WW I, also by Fabergé

Now I am looking for the figurine :-) If someone has it laying around, please let me know :-)
