RARE CASED MATCHED PAIR OF SCHNEIDER & GLASSICK MEMPHIS TENNESSEE DERINGERS.

SN NSN. This pair of pistols are very well matched and almost identical condition which measure just under 6″ overall with 1-15/16″ bbls, 2-3/4″ with breech. 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. This is a rare pair with great bbl markings, elegantly cased that would be difficult to upgrade. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Guns appear orig, authentic and complete and are very good to fine overall. Metal is gray/brown overall with staining and pitting. German silver mounts and distinctive spur triggers are well fit into checkered varnished stocks that are sound and solid. Guns retain about 20-30% of their orig varnish. Accompanying case is for presentation only and not a product of Schneider & Glassick but is in overall very good condition with accessories including caps, loading tool, mold, balls and powder flask. 4-54311 JS189 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 3421
