Japan-Little Atom, S. Barrel Round Butt w/Floral Design-NJLASB1.

Description

Japanese Little Atom with a Floral Design and Short barrel on a Rounded Butt

A Condition

OAL 1 5/8" This gun is a Japanese Little Atom with a Rounded Butt, with floral design, and beaded background on the grips, the similar Austrian version does not have the beaded background, and the grips are pressed relief, and removable from the guns. Marked: JAPAN on one side, these are the earlier more rare versions that have the shorter drilled thru barrel, as opposed to the later versions that were vented on the top or bottom, and most had longer barrels. The vented version of these guns were produced in a much greater quantity which makes these much more valuable. This gun is in great working condition and has very minor tarnish.

This is listed as J2a in "The Tiniest Guns" by Bob Urso.
