Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a miniature German “HS Kolibri” 2mm rimfire revolver new in the original box with the blue steel loading & spent cartridge case removal tweezers.  Only the blank cartridge container with with wad and cork, and the original 2mm rimfire blank cartridges is missing.  This revolver is designated as G10 – Kolibri – HS8 Revolver in Bob Urso’s book “The Tiniest Guns, Third Edition”.  This is the earlier & more desirable version with the barrel vented out the muzzle instead of a hole in the top of the barrel.  These miniature revolvers are double action only, meaning you pull the trigger to fire, you do can not cock the hammer as in single action mode.  Nickel plated steel construction.  White plastic pearl looking grips with a single screw entering from the left side.  The left grip marked in embossed letters “HS” in a circle and “KOLIBRI”.  The right grip marked in embossed letters “HS” in a circle and “Made in Germany”.  The cylinder decorated with a uniform series of punch dots & six flutes.  The cylinder must be indexed manually to fire the next cartridge, & has a spring loaded detent to stop the cylinder in the proper position.  There is a lanyard loop and ring attached to the butt.  The original lift top box is brown cardboard, the top with an image of the revolver and some text in yellow/gold ink.  The inside of the box top has what I think is instructions, in German printed in black.  The interior box bottom has a purple cardboard insert with cut outs for the grip & cylinder of the revolver, and for the cartridge container & loading tweezers.  The only flaw with this set is the original cap container is missing and the print on the box top is faded.  The revolver look to be absolutely mint new & unfired.  The tweezers show some finish loss turning patina & I’d call them 85% original charcoal blue.  The box top has faded from purple to a dark brown.  The box top printing is faded but legible.  This is a very nice example and very scarce!  This is only the third one of these I have ever been able to offer for sale, & the second with the box.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
