Yes they did, it's the model designation for a starter/dog training/blank fire gun based on their model 50/55/57 solid frame revolver. The frame and all internal parts in the mod 56 are identical to those of the 'regular' revolvers, the changes are simply a much shorter cylinder (5/8 of an inch long instead of 1 and 7/16 inch) and a solid barrel with a spike that extends rearwards from the breech towards the cylinder.
As with their regular .22 cal revolvers in this series, it is an eight shot cylinder.
The S suffix simply stands for short barrel (about 2") and the A means it has a loading gate (earlier versions of this series did not).
A word of caution here, if you run across a Mod 56 that has a regular cylinder and barrel you are dealing with a gun that has been converted and is not legally a saleable item, while doing such a conversion may, technically, not be illegal, selling it would be. The person doing the conversion is legally the manufacturer and while it is not, technically, illegal for a person to manufacture a fire arm, it is unlawful to sell or distribute it unless this person has a fire arms manufacturer's licence.
