After WWII, or sometime before, my father had a single shot 22 handgun. I don't know if it was 22 short, long or long rifle. The action was a break open type. The barrel was either hexagonal or octagonal and was about six inches long. After returning from Germany, 1949, he traded it and a rabbit ears 12 ga. side-by-side shotgun for a nicer more modern 12 gauge. After the war, Dad was stationed in Waco, TX as a recruiting officer. We rented a house in an old section of town. I remember him shooting rats with this handgun.

I don't know the manufacturer. Does anyone have any ideas?
