****SOLD****

"CHADWICK-JAPAN" 2mm MINIATURE PINFIRE PISTOL FROM JAPAN

This is nickel-plated and has a round butt with stamped deer/rabbit designs on the grips. It's an antique. This particular model is in "A" or excellent condition (graded based on the overall working condition and aesthetics for the same style and age). This gun has "CHADWICK-JAPAN" stamped on the side. This antique was produced in the 1950's and has over 90% of the nickel-plating and is in overall good working condition. It has minor scratches on the body as well. The OAL is 1 7/16 and the trigger is crisp and tthe button release works well and the barrel moves freely to load/unload. There is a fob-loop on the butt and this model is also a popular gun, often used to make tie clips and cuff links. This mini is designed ONLY to fire 2mm pinfire BLANKS, due to having a VENTED** barrel, which is CLOSED/SEALED at the end and therefore can not fire any projectiles. This gun is an excellent example of the J4a in Bob Urso's "The Tiniest Guns" book.

A 'VENTED' BARREL GUN design ONLY SUPPORTS use with BLANK CAPS/BLANK ROUNDS! The END OF THE BARREL is SEALED SHUT/CLOSED, so it CAN NOT FIRE A PROJECTILE (ie: Do NOT ATTEMPT to use any type of LIVE ROUNDS/LIVE CAPS/LEAD BALL)!
