I have a very nice Itasca "4 Aces", appeares to be in better condition than any I have seen recent pictures of. It comes with the original box as well. It belonged to my mother-in-law when she was a casino cashier in Vegas, she carried it in her purse for many years. I would consider selling it for a fair and resonable offer? If you are interested, I could send email pictures. It really is a very nice example of these little derringers.
Who knows about Erl Svendsen guns?

Any chance that he lived or had a cottage in Northern WI? A friend of mine purchased a cottage and the person who lived there had a crap load of gun parts he has used the parts to put together several guns but mostly just has parts left (mainly unfinished or not even started frames some stilll with the extra "pouring" pieces still on them.) and I wonder if maybe it was Erl's place?
Hello all. I am the proud owner of 2 recently acquired pony express revolvers in .22 caliber. 3 digit serial numbers 4xx with them being 11 numbers apart.
I have seen one pony express .38 sell on gunbroker in nov, 2014 brought 1925.00.
Mine are like new, one not even looks like it has been fired.and the other one has a slight ring around the cylinder. If anyone has any other info , sure would like to hear it.

A friend of mine had a "Little Ace" derringer that he wanted to trade to me for a Bernardelli .22 short.
I shot the Little Ace, and no matter how I held it or how tightly I held it, it would nearly come out of my hand when shot, so I decided to keep the little Bernardelli.
To be honest, I found it harder to control than a North American Arms .22lr revolver.
Very cute gun, though.
