*RARE KOLIBRI SEMI-AUTO PISTOL WITH RARE CARTRIDGES.

*RARE KOLIBRI SEMI-AUTO PISTOL WITH RARE CARTRIDGES. SN 13. Cal. 2.7 mm. Blue finish with 1-1/4″ bbl, no front sight and fixed rear sight. With exposed trigger and mounted with hard rubber grips. Its orig magazine is intact and functional. Right side of the frame, above ejection port, is marked “PFANNL’S AUTOMAT-PISTOL” with German crown “N” proofs. It has thumb safety on right rear side with exposed trigger. Accompanied by an orig tin cartridge box containing two extremely rare 2.7 mm loaded cartridges and, unbelievably, a fired empty case. Also accompanied by a homemade green felt lined walnut box with brass appointments. These tiny pistols are the smallest functioning production semi-auto pistol ever produced. They were in production in Austria during the period 1914-1925 with very few having been made and even fewer surviving today. They fired a 3 grain bullet at approx. 475 feet per second, generating about 1.75 foot pounds of muzzle energy. Reference: Blue Book of Gun Values, Fjestad. Not only were they the smallest pistols produced commercially, but undoubtedly the least powerful also. According to an article by James B. Stewart that appeared in the June 1969 issue of The American Rifleman, only about 100 of these rare pistols were produced with very few known today. CONDITION: Very fine plus. Overall retains 93-95% strong orig glossy blue with a couple of small cleaned spots on right side and another on left side. Missing its rear slide locking screw. Magazine is equally fine and functional, unlike the ones usually found with these little pistols. Grips are extremely fine, mechanics are crisp. Cartridges & cartridge box are also fine. 4-37545 JR24 (3,000-5,000)
