Chicago Arms
Has anybody ever heard of a company called Chicago Arms? A friend of mine was given a 32 Cal short pistol and the only thing it says on the gun is Chicago Arms. I looked it up and did find a company with that name but the only gun they list is a pocket pistol which is not what my friend has.

There were TWO Chicago Arms Companies...The First was CHICAGO ARMS CO. Sold by Fred Bifflar Co. Made by Meriden Firearms Co. 1870-1890 It was a Handgun, Revolver, .32 S&W 5 Shot, Double Action, Top Break...In Good Condition...$100.00 Also came in .38 S&W..$100.00...The Rarest of the the 3 Pistol made by MERIDEN was the pistol with a Grip Safety..Its worth about $25.00 More...
Then there was the CHICAGO FIRE ARMS CO. Chicago, Illinois 1883-1894. They made the PALM PISTOL, .32 Short Rim Fire...and in working order are Worth $1000.00 and up depending upon Condition..They were a Rotary Magazine Pistol and the barrel protruded thru the Fingers...It was an interesting Little Gun to say the least...Anyway I hope I've covered the Subject well enough for you to ascertain what Pistol you have and the value of same.....Best....
