These interesting pistols were produced for only a few years starting in 1920, with only about 5,000 manufactured before production halted. It was designed by Anthony Fiala, a well-known adventurer and explorer, who created this magazine-fed single shot because he didn't trust semi-automatic designs to function in sub-zero environments such as on arctic expeditions. This example has standard markings and features, with the fitted barrel numbered "1949". It is in a hardwood case with an extra 20 inch barrel with forearm numbered "357", extra 3 inch barrel numbered "3097", a shoulder stock with attaching screw, two full 50-count boxes of Western .22 LR cartridges, two 1927 dated buffalo nickels, and a key for the case.
