I had one too. Bought it for $9.95 in 1957 complete with leather holster, spare firing pina nd cleaning rod. It was post 1939 as it had the large trigger. Back in the '50s we didn't know how to translate the dates. i had a box of 50 rounds made from 41 Colt cases. It was accurate and reliable (for 50 rounds) When the ammo was gone I sold it for $15 and thought I am the GUN TRADER!!
