4/29/26 - This a Menz Liliput Modell I blank firing pistol. In 1932 Menz presented this novelty: a six-shot selfloading blank pistol, the design of which was identical to the Liliput pistol. It fired 6.35mm paper bullet cartridges which were pulverized before they passed the muzzle. The tiny paper pieces were directed upwards to the front. Even at a distance of 20cm the remains of the paper bullet did no damage to a sheet of newspaper. The left side is marked: “Nur für Schreckschuss-Patr. Cal. 6,35”. A close look shows it to not even be a real gun. Early versions have what appears to be a true barrel, but is only a fraction of an inch deep and does not reach the chamber. Later versions have three small holes drilled in the front. All have an angled hole drilled into the top of the barrel to meet the bore, and some have an additional vertical hole behind this. This one has retained essentially all of its bluing, but there is some very light freckling on the slide and barrel. Fitted with black plastic grips and comes with one proper magazine. FFL is required, but it is C&R eligible.
