Though the revolvers well bearing the Foehl & Weeks mark it is beleved, that they never made any Baby Hammerless revolvers (exception of prototypes supposes). Very vew early guns survive and none carry a manufacturer's name. When Foehl & Weeks Firearms Manufacturing Co. went bankrupt in 1893 a new company, The Columbian Firearms Manufacturing Company was formed with president Henry Ruhland and Charles Foehl managed the company, which occupied the same factory that had been previously used by Foehl & Weeks.
