OK, I think I know what you mean now...I have seen silver/gold 'razor blade' necklaces, also 'dog tag' [military] necklaces, for big bucks...

1/2 or 1/3 or 1/6 size might be difficult...You wouldn't be able to mold an existing piece...You'd have to make the mold yourself, artistically...Or make a model and make the mold from that...

If you had a pantograph milling machine, you could do it...And had the gun to replicate too, of course...

...No interest here...
