FIREARMS MANUFACTURING CO hollywood, calif. made in west germany. on the bottom near the trigger guard it has 2 german proof marks. can anyone tell me a little about this, or what it might be worth?  *We Band of 45-70er's* "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt- | ||

link to pistol Hy-Hunter made many different models in the 70's. The double barrel derringers seemed to be of poor qualilty. They had a steel sleeve/barrel liner for the rifling. The casting was not much more then lead. Google "HY-Hunter 22" | |||

For the proof marks, have a look https://www.bluebookinc.com/Info/PDF/Firearm/Proofmarks.pdf There should be a shield with the last two digits of the year it was manufactured, too. | |||
