Cute or what? 3mm Kolibri

I started sorting out a small batch of collector's ammo that I got recently. It was quite a shock to find this little beauty in one of the boxes, and it is amazing that it didn't get lost

I took a snapshot (sorry for the quality) just to show the size of this little auto pistol round next to a 9x19 blank.

The 3mm kolibri was a ballistically improved (yup

) version of the earlier 2.7mm kolibri round. Of course this pistol, once thought of as a self defence weapon for women before WW1, was not effective at all and neither the pistol nor the round lived passed the start of WW1.
