Hi everyone,
While browsing the Standard Catalog of Firearms, I read (pg. 995) that the Savage company manufactured a small number of .25 caliber pocket pistols in the early part of the last century (1915-1919). Supposedly only about 25 were made.
Outside of this mention, I have been unable to find any information at all about them except for the fact that they are extremely rare. The only photos I have ever seen are on the above-mentioned page of the Standard Catalog of Firearms, where there are pictures of two versions - one with 10 slide serrations and the other with 27 serrations. The transition is said to have taken place in 1917.
The same two photos are reproduced on this webpage if you care to see them:

Does anyone have any information about these obscure little guns?
