Worlds Smallest 22 Pistol?
I thought I'd post this interesting little pistol in my collection. It is purportedly the worlds smallest functional pistol and shoots 22 CB caps . It is labeled Little Ace and I've included a quarter and a 22 CB cap to give you an idea of the size. These were made by the Erl Svendson FA Co. in Brownsville TX. If anyone know's of a smaller example please post it for us to enjoy.
Jim

I just sold my cased set of sequentially numbered Little Ace Derringers at the last Antique Arms show
They are cute little buggers

Back in late 70s I bought from a distributor, Valor out of N.C. They sold a little twist barrel called Twist 2. Very well made for
22 shorts, 2 of them would fit in cigarette pack. Frame about
same as Little Ace, but 0/U barrels.

Interesting. I have seen quite a few of them (along with it's big brother 4Aces, a copy of the Sharps derringer). Every one I've seen, however, was indicated as chambered for .22 short standard velocity.

The one I posted above is clearly marked for 22 CBs or BBs. Interesting! I wonder what the difference may be in these pistols?

...the 22 short version of the NAA Mini Revolver is pretty small...
