The Little Ace .22 Short pistol is a small, single-shot handgun that was manufactured by the Erl Svendsen F.A. MFG CO, based in Itasca, Illinois, U.S.A. This company was known for producing high-quality firearms and it was founded by Erl Svendsen in the late 1920s. The Little Ace was one of the company's most popular models and it was marketed as a low-cost, simple-to-use handgun for target shooting and small game hunting. It was known for its compact size and lightweight design, making it easy to carry and handle.
The specific pistol with serial number 9543 is a Little Ace .22 Short, it is a single-shot, break-open swing out design with a barrel length of 2 inches and an overall length of 4 inches. The barrel is made of steel with a blue finish, frame of brass and black grips. The hammer is of the exposed type with spur trigger. The Little Ace is a simple but well-built pistol that has proven to be a reliable and accurate shooter.
The Erl Svendsen F.A. MFG CO produced the Little Ace until the 1940s (some as late as the 1970's), after which production stopped. The Little Ace is now considered a collectible firearm, and it continues to be popular among target shooters and collectors. This firearm requires an FFL transfer or NICS background check and is considered a Curio and Relic and / or modern firearm.
