Lots of off-brand revolver manufacturers invented colorful names for their products. In fact there are collectors of them. I remember seeing somewhere a list of dozens of such names - "Blue Jacket," "Tramp's Terror," "Protector," etc., from mainly early in the 20th Century. Most were of inferior manufacture and materials. Some were OK. Many were made up for large retailers such as Sears Roebuck, and sold through mail order. Yesterday's name for Saturday Night Specials.
