SCARCE COLT 3RD MODEL 4TH VARIATION FACTORY ENGRAVED IVORY GRIPPED DERINGER. SN E26426. 41 cal. short rim fire. 4th Variation with SN E26426 with “G” where grip screw goes through the frame. The “E” in the SN indicates it was sent out for factory engraving. It has NYC Nimschke style engraving in the Class “C” coverage. The factory ivory grips are also rare in that they are checkered. This feature is seldom seen. This gun was orig finished in all silver and blued screws, hammer and trigger. PROVENANCE: L.D. Eberhart Collection. CONDITION: The gun retains 85%+ of the orig case color on the hammer & trigger and some fire blue on the screws. It does not retain any of its orig overall silver plating but is a very nice, sharp light patina gun with excellent Class “C” style factory engraving. The factory ivory grips have some mellowing from handling and minor age cracks. Other than that they are nearly perfect in every respect with very sharp checkering. 4-47435 DE55 (2,000-3,000)
