Hi Spiridonov,

In his 1998 book Illustriertes Lexikon der Handfeuerwaffen, Vladímir Dolínek, the curator in charge of the military museum Prague, states on p. 22 that the caliber of this gun is 36 mm.

Looking at the general proportions, though, I must say you may be right as it seems rather like 26 mm.

Best,
Michael
