Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 2mm pinfire pistol made by noted miniature maker Bob Urso of Washington state, author of the ultimate reference on Berloque and 2mm pinfire miniatures, The Tiniest Guns. He calls this model the High Standard. Description from Bob’s website, used with permission. “1-5/8″ OAL , I’ve always liked the contemporary profile of the High Standard pistols and this is my attempt at a 2mm pinfire version. The action is based on the Kobold, berloque pistol, manufactured in Germany, between the two world wars. It is interesting for several reasons. First of all it is an underhammer pistol, with the pin of the cartridge facing down into the gun. Secondly, the wide, heavy hammer does double duty as the guns breech. Finally, as shown in the photo above, the trigger is actually the front grip-strap. All parts are nickel plated steel. The grips are ivory.” Serial # 2. Includes the black plastic glass topped case.
