This review details a rare Russian contract FN 1905 Vest Pocket pistol, distinguished by its factory nickel finish and unique markings from the Imperial Nicholas Military Academy. The pistol, chambered in .25 ACP, predates the 1909 thumb safety model and was likely acquired by officers around 1908. Its rarity is underscored by the low documented number of surviving examples, with some potentially returning to the US via WWI veterans.
