Lot 1461:
Firearms International Model VB Semi-Automatic Pocket Pistol .25 ACP with 2 Inch Barrel
Description
This Firearms International Model VB is a compact semi-automatic pocket pistol chambered in .25 ACP, featuring a 2-inch barrel. The firearm exhibits a distinctive two-tone aesthetic, characterized by a blued steel slide paired with a frame that has aged to a deep plum or brownish-purple hue. The left side of the slide is clearly marked with the manufacturer and model designation FIREARMS INTERNATIONAL over MODEL VB. The right side of the slide specifies the chambering as 25 CAL, while the right side of the frame carries the import or distributor marking AAPC HOUSTON TX. A vertical serial number, 000621, is stamped on the right side of the frame behind the trigger guard. The pistol is fitted with black checkered polymer grip panels; the left panel displays a logo featuring crossed rifles, and the right panel features the letters VB within an oval cartouche. The frame is equipped with a manual safety lever on the left side, showing a red dot when in the fire position, and a traditional heel-style magazine release. Included with the lot is one single-stack magazine featuring a large vertical viewing window on one side, allowing for a visual check of the internal spring and remaining rounds. The action appears to function correctly, though mechanical function has not been independently verified through live fire. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in used condition with a well-preserved blued finish on the slide showing only minor thinning at the muzzle and sharp edges. The frame retains a consistent plum-colored finish throughout. The black polymer grips are in good condition with sharp checkering and minimal handling marks. The bore is bright with strong, visible rifling. The action cycles smoothly, and the manual safety operates as intended. The included magazine shows standard finish wear from insertion and removal but remains structurally sound.
