SN 12765/3550. Cal. 41 RF Short. Pistols are virtually identical with nickel finish, half-moon front sight and “COLT” on top of bbl.

Accompanied by an orig burgundy leather covered cigar/cigarette style casing lined with purple satin in the lid & magenta velvet in the bottom. Recessed in the bottom for the 2 pistols. The number 3 Derringer was the highest production of the 3 models of Colt Derringers with very few known to have the cigar style case.

Overall retains about 98% strong orig nickel with a few minor, light handling marks. Hammer retains brilliant case colors. Left grip has a chip at the locator pin, otherwise they are sound with some roughness of the left side and overall retain most of their orig varnish. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with scattered pitting. SN 12765 very fine, also retains about 98% strong orig nickel with light handling marks and brilliant case colors on the hammer. Trigger & screws retain bright fire blue. Grips are sound with light high point wear and retain about all of their orig varnish. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with scattered pitting.
