Cute or what? 3mm Kolibri

[Ron Wood]

Kolibri just means hummingbird. I suspect the name is used on lots of products not associated with the firm that made the pistol.

Hey Dave, you have a Kruger?!..me too. Randy Bessler wants $95.00 for one! I think I paid $5.00 for mine.

You betcha, Ron. It was the childhood toy of the friend who gave it to me a couple years ago in recognition of my Luger interests! It has been used as a handy, rust-proof stand-in for my KGP69 Erma, during holster molding. They're close enough to being the same size and outer lines, and it worked great for this purpose; also holds the shape of the holster during storage. The Kruger lacks only the "cleaning"/clearing rod, and is complete otherwise, including the "million dollar chip" molded into the corner of the left grip. I think this is a hoot.

I've seen a few come and go on eBay since then, in the $45 + range, but worth it if you're molding holsters for down-scaled Luger wannabes!

Me too!! That would be fantastic! I've fantasized about the Italian(?)-made half-scale Lugers--all steel, I think, so at least feasible. But those puppies go for as much as a real one...
