Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 2mm pinfire Xpert bicycle rifle 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 models the Xpert Bicycle Rifle. Description from Bob’s website, used with permission. Except for the fact that this is a pinfire rather than a rimfire, this is a pretty faithful miniature of the Hopkins & Allen, Xpert. The full size Xpert had a production run of less than 3000 guns. It has a fixed barrel, with a unique flat sided , swing out breech plate. The Xpert is also available in the “Bicycle Rifle” version, with a long barrel, and a screw on metal stock. OAL with the stock attached is 5″. Nickel plated finish. The grips are mother of pearl. Serial number 27 is stamped into the bottom of the gripstrap. Includes a fake leather (actually paper over cardboard) hinged top case with push button latch and a dark blue/green felt interior lining that was probably not made by Mr. Urso. There is a depressed area in the front right of the interior for a round container of cartridges which is missing. This piece is no longer in production by Mr. Urso. Mint new condition.
