Designed by Friedrich Pfannl of Austria, the Kolibri and its cartridge, the 2.7mm Kolibri, are credited as the smallest centerfire pistol and centerfire cartridge to see production, with the pistol easily fitting in the palm and measuring less than 3 inches long. Manufactured with a notched groove sight on top of the slide, with a "FEU" and "SUR" marked safety switch on the right side of the frame, and "FP" imprints on the grips. Included with the pistol is a photocopy of a '60s vintage NRA/American Rifleman letter discussing the Kolibri, describing it as novelty item; "if the target realized he had been shot, he might become real angry.
Condition: Very fine, with 85% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, minor spotting, edge wear and a few light scratches. The grips are fine, with some shrinkage and minor scratches. The trigger does not consistently reset, otherwise mechanically functions fine
