They were made in the late 1960s to mid 1970s.

Don’t want to assume anything so here goes. These little guns while are functional they really aren’t made to be fired. They are made of a soft metal and no liner, within a few shots any rifling is gone.

Single shot spur trigger derringer chambered in .22 short, manufactured circa 1960's-1970's. Butler produced these derringers for Colt between 1959-1963. When Colt dropped the line Butler continued production and stamped their own name on the guns.

Some have steel barrel liners. Some don't.
