the HIJO QUIK-BREAK was a brand name used on the model 66S trailsman snub in the 1960's. it was sold by several mail order companies during 1960 through 1962. this model is covered on page 92 of my iver johnson book. there is also a copy of an ad from a february 1961 american rifleman magazine for the charles daly company featuring the Hijo Quik-Break. these were also the only model 66S that were offered with the nickel finish as standard.
