Description:

The 4.25 mm Liliput pistol is one of the smallest semiautomatic handguns ever made (the Kolibri is generally considered the smallest). This Model 1927 pistol features factory engraving covering approximately 95% of the gold plated metal surfaces. The frame, barrel, slide, trigger, trigger guard and grip straps have an extensive oak leaf and acorn engraving pattern, with an exceptionally fine punch dot background. The engraving even extends to the base of the gold plated magazine. The barrel has a crown/N commercial proof on the left side and the left side of the frame is marked "LILIPUT KAL-4,25 / Modell 1927". The trigger is numbered to the gun. Fitted with ivory colored checkered plastic grips with caliber medallions.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The pistol retains 75% plus of the original gold finish with the balance a smooth bright gray patina. The grips are fine with a small hairline crack radiating form the left panel screw and a repaired chip around the right panel screw with a hairline crack. The checkering is crisp.
