Description:

This extremely high quality pistol was manufactured by the Semmerling Corp. of Boston, Ma. The LM-4 was designed as the ultimate police backup/defense weapon. It is a manually operated, 5 shot repeater, 5.2 inches long, 3.7 inches high and 1 inch wide. Chambered for the 45 ACP cartridge it is undoubtedly the smallest 5 shot 45 caliber pistol ever produced. Although it appears to be a semi automatic, it is not. The slide is manually operated after each double action firing. This pistol is made of special tool steel and they are virtually handmade. This is an extremely limited production pistol with only two produced a week. The right side of the slide is marked "CAL. .45 ACP" behind the serrations and "STD. MIL. SPEC. CTG. ONLY", the left side is marked "MOD LM-4 / PATENTS PENDING" ahead of the serrations and "SEMMERLING CORP. / BOSTON, MASS." behind the serrations. Smooth trigger, smooth striped ebony grips and matte finish with polished slide sides and right side plate. Complete with the original shipping box, extra magazine, papers and manual.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 99% original finish with only some very slight high edge wear and light handling marks. The grips are excellent with a couple of minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
