Svendsen L'il Ace.
I see information on this little pistol manufactured by Erl Svendsen every now and then and am curious about additional insights. Admittedly, this little gun is more of a curiosity piece and a trinket, than it is a legitimate firearm.
Although I am not the original owner, I acquired SERIAL #1 and #2 as a matched pair over 30 years ago. They are unfired and new in their original boxes, complete with internal and external labels and the original packing paper. A few years later, I picked up #7914 and #6632 of the Four Aces design in day two are in their original boxes.
I attend the large Wahenmacher Gun show in Tulsa twice a year and have yet to see any of the individual guns being sold. I did, however, find one regular dealer who has managed to accumulate what may be the largest known collection of these little guns. Although they were not for sale, he had an exhibit of approximately 50 or 60 of them I would guess.
If anybody happens to know more about Svensen, I would be interested in any information available. Thanks!
