Found this on an old thread by a guy named Jim Thomas. The pics look identical.
Pistol is a .22LR Chicago Derringer. They were
manufactured on the north side of Chicago
during the mid to late sixties. Production was
halted due to Chicago laws, liability issues and
the GCA68. I worked there but have no production
figures. Research: Chicago Gun Center on Armitage
Ave. and Sport Service Center on Neva Ave. The
derringer is a knock off of a C. Sharps design from
the 1880's. The prototype was built by Stan Golik and
the barrels were made by Nikos Christakos. The owner
of the company was Paul Haberly. Production
versions had the barrel latch (on right side). Prototype
did not (latch added to eliminate light hits). Yours is an early
production version (the bronze frame is natural, not phosphated).
Yours doesn't look like solid brass to me, but it's hard to tell in the pics. Judging from other similar items I have seen, I would think 150 ish, but it's hard to tell. The cowboy action crowd just loves those things.
