1. Smallest Pocket Pistol

made 1931-1983

25 cal. Browning (FN) imported under Browning Arms Co (BAC) trademark 1954-1968. 2 pics

One of my favorite! Baby Browning.

Here is a Bernardelli Baby Model 2 in 22 Long, probably made in 1948. Model 1's are in 22 short, I 'm still looking for one of those.
Pistol is leaning against a vintage box of Federal 22 shorts. Be sure and read the description in the ad.

Neat looking pistol. Still one-half inch longer than the Walther #9. Is the 22 short #1 the same size ? Was this also made in 25 cal? Bill

Bill, yep the Walther is itty-bitty for sure. The Bernardelli in 22 short is the same just a different barrel, magazine and probably recoil spring. The .25 is a different pistol with model designation of vest-pocket.

Here's a pair... One by Colt for the US marketplace, and the other by FN for the European marketplace:
