These were imported in th the late 50s and 60s under a number of different names and by over a dozen different importers. There are no records that are available to give you a date of manufacture. These were inexpensive pinkiers and one now in excellent condition would sell for around 125, in poor condition perhaps25.

I have that same model which used to be my grandfather's. Mine isn't in very good condition, but it has a good bore and it shoots reasonably well, even though I have to manually rotate the cylinder for each shot because there are a couple parts missing. If I were to sell it, I would be surprised if I could get even $20 for it. Because of it's condition, I almost never shoot it.
