SOLD-Nickel Xythos Pinfire No Case-NXNC1

Description

This is the Xythos miniature 2mm pinfire pistols from Austria – it is nickel-plated and has a squared butt, round trigger, 5 ridge hammer, and black grips with a key chain adapter and extra retaining pin. This is the world's smallest working revolver. This is legally considered a signaling device however, there is a very small supply of hand loaded 2mm live ammo that will work with this pinfire gun, which is as loud as a .22 caliber gun and as powerful as a strong air gun. These come just in a plastic bag, no case. This is an old styled antique, produced in the 1960s and are one of the later models, which has a round trigger & 9 ridge hammer. This particular model is in "A" or GREAT condition (graded based on the overall working condition and aesthetics for the same style and age). This gun has a nice finish, with tarnish on the gun's body. Overall length (OAL) 1 5/8". Comes with everything you see here! This Xythos is designed to fire 2mm pinfire BLANKS only (do not attempt to fire lead ball/live rounds).

Xythos revolvers are listed in "The Tiniest Guns" by Bob Urso, Vol. 3, pages 40-42 where you can find lots of good information on the history and types made. We've also included some Xythos history on the main category page.
