Your gun is about +/- 1985'ish vintage.

F.I.E. is the acronym for Firearms Import & Export once located in Hialeah, FL. They filed for bankruptcy in November of 1990, and closed the doors.

They were known for their cheap price and inferior quality.

Think Saturday Night Special and you got it!

Firearms Import and Export.They imported everything,of varying degrees of quality.I had a nice Arminius .22/.22 magnum that was a 3/4 scale DA revolver.Looked like a .357 Trooper.That was about 1976.

The "ARMINIUS" high-quality revolvers are "made in Germany". They have a long tradition. Over many decades German shooters and hunters have been familiar with these products. The revolvers are equally well-known all around the world with excellent accuracy and durability being their outstanding features. A stable construction of the mechanism gives the revolver very high reliability and satety. The "ARMINIUS" revolvers are produced in many varieties, and all are offered in a dark blue or chromed finish. Wooden or Combat grips are also available. Click on the Revolvers for more information

My decent quality double barrel shotgun that I bought in 1971 was imported by FIE. It's made by Felix Sarasqueta y Cia of Eibar, Spain. It's been through hell, but is still tight and still shoots. Don't use it much anymore, though. It was quite a pretty gun when I bought it. Duck hunting is tough on shotguns.
