Franz Pfannl was known for designing some of the smallest commercially available centerfire cartridges and pistols, including the 2mm Kolibri that was manufactured from about 1910-1914. Ceasing production as a result of WWI, Pfannl later designed and manufactured the unique 4.25mm Liliput cartridge for the Erika pistol following WWI. Born in 1866, Pfannl worked as a watch and clockmaker in his father's shop in Krems an der Donau, Austria. He later sold the shop and began manufacturing miniature pistol designs sometime in the early 1900's. Alongside producing miniature pistols, Pfannl's factory also made rifle grenades and flamethrowers during WWI. His factory was later used for the manufacture of pencils, and was also a location for secret weapons testing during WWII, according to Die Doppelstadt Krems Stein by Fruehwirth Hans.
