Replicas of historical weapons
In the past, bladed weapons were not merely tools for combat and survival, but also symbols of honor, social status, and the absolute mastery of the blacksmiths of that era. In our category of historical weapon replicas, we bring this fascinating legacy to life and place a piece of tangible history right in your hands. Our replicas, crafted with deep respect for tradition, are intended for passionate collectors, members of military history clubs, museums, and military enthusiasts. These are not cheap imitations made of soft alloys, but full-fledged, masterfully crafted weapons thatfaithfully match their famous originals in terms of proportions, materials, and weight.
Notable models from our selection:
- Firefighter’s Dagger: A faithful replica of a historic sidearm that was an integral part of firefighters’ equipment in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. While today it serves exclusively for decorative and ceremonial purposes, in the past it was a functional tool. The polished blade is made of high-quality stainless steel and is hardened to ensure a long service life and durability. The hilt is fitted with imitation ivory grips and complemented by a richly decorated and gilded guard and fittings.
- Czechoslovak Customs Service Sword, Model 1932 (LEV version): It is one of the most significant bladed weapons of the First Republic. The gold-plated brass hilt, featuring the head of the Czech Ivo, is complemented by mother-of-pearl grips bearing the national coat of arms. The stainless steel blade bears an individual limited-edition number, and the set is completed by a leather scabbard with gilded elements.
- Czechoslovak Air Force Dagger, Model 1927: A ceremonial weapon for officers of the Czechoslovak Air Force from the First Republic era, crafted according to a historical model with an emphasis on precise detail. The stainless steel blade, featuring an individual limited-edition number, is complemented by a leather sheath with metal accents, underscoring its ceremonial and collectible character.
- UTON Model 74 Reconnaissance Knife: A replica of the prototype of the popular UTON. The number 74 is intended to indicate that this is the predecessor of the well-known UTON, correctly designated by the military abbreviation UN Model 75.
- M.1917 Officer’s (Assault) Knife: A replica of Gen. Bílý’s M-1917 officer’s version. This is the first knife in the War Veteran project. From 1917, when the knife was adopted by the Austro-Hungarian Army, it was a highly sought-after trophy weapon. Due to its simple design, it served as the model for a number of other assault knives and remained in service with various armies until the end of World War II.
- Parade Saber Model 24/27 and Commemorative Rapier: Magnificent ceremonial and formal weapons featuring a long steel blade (over 80 cm) and a richly decorated guard with national motifs. Traditionally, they serve as awards, gifts for high-ranking officers, or as a centerpiece in a luxurious study.
