I have never seen nor even heard of the .22 Virginian. Was it ever made in carbon steel?

Incidentally, the Virginian I referred to was the Hammerli made single action, not the American made Virginian Dragoon. The Virginian was a .45 Colt, maybe other centerfire calibers, made more or less as a Copy of the Colt SAA. One feature was the nickel plated trigger guard and backstrap. As far as I know, these were not made in stainless steel.

This is the gun to which I refer:
