*VERY RARE SEMMERLING MODEL LM-4 PISTOL. SN 125. Cal. 45 ACP. Matte black finish with 3-3/8″ bbl which is integral with the slide. This little pistol is the smallest 5-shot 45 ACP pistol ever produced. Although it resembles a semi-automatic it is, in fact, a dbl action sgl shot repeater. The dbl action pull is extremely smooth & regular. Once the trigger pull is started, the slide is locked in position and when the pistol is fired and the trigger released, the slide can then be manually pushed forward and manually retracted to load another round in preparation for firing again. It was made by the Semmerling Corp. of Boston, MA from 1978-1982. The patent is currently owned by the American Derringer Corp. of Waco, TX. According to Blue Book of Gun Values, Fjestad, only about 600 of these rare pistols were produced by the Semmerling Corp. This pistol is the exact item pictured on p. 90 of the 2000 Edition of Standard Catalog of Firearms, Schwing. In the catalog it is pictured with grip panels installed which are now missing. Accompanied by two orig magazines. PROVENANCE: Walker Inman Trust. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus. Overall retains virtually all of its orig matte black factory finish with polished right side on the slide. Appears to be unfired. Magazines are equally new. 4-41267 JR197 (3,000-5,000)
