RARE CASED PAIR OF SCHNEIDER & GLASSICK MEMPHIS TENNESSEE DERINGERS.

SN NSN. This pair of pistols are very well matched and almost identical condition though there are slight variations in bbl lengths which measure 2-15/16″, 3-11/16 with breech on one and 3-3/4″ on second. The overall length are also 1/8″ difference also with the overall length of guns just over 7″ each. Schneider & Glassick marked guns are very scarce and pairs are quite rare. Schneider & Glassick were partners from 1855 through 1862 when William Schneider joined the Confederate Army in 1862 which dissolved the partnership, according to Eberhart & Wilson in their text The Deringer in America Vol. 1. There are several configurations of pistols with these markings and there is conjecture as to whether these are products of Memphis or Nashville Tennessee actually made by Bitterlich. Regardless, this is a rare pair elegantly cased that would be difficult to duplicate. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Guns appear orig and complete and are very good to fine overall. Metal is gray overall with staining and pitting. German silver mounts and distinctive spur triggers are well fit into checkered varnished stocks that are sound and solid though one gun has 2″ crack on left side which can be seen in photos. Guns retain about 70% of their orig varnish though thinning in areas. Accompanying case is for display only and not a product of Schneider & Glassick but is in overall very good condition with accessories including combination screwdrivers, powder flask, mold and nipple wrench. 4-54306 JS186 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 3420
