CASED MATCHED PAIR “F. GLASSICK & CO” MEMPHIS TENNESSEE DERINGERS.

SN NSN. This is a fine matched pair of “F. GLASSICK & CO/MEMPHIS TENN” marked deringers still retaining orig finish and in condition rarely found on typically hard used southern pistols. Each pistol is numbered “1” & “2” on German silver shield shaped thumbplates. Eberhart & Wilson in their text The Deringer in America Vol. 1 states that these guns may actually be made in Nashville by Bitterlich; regardless of where they were made in TN this is a fabulous pair with rarely seen orig blue finish, nicely presented in a modern casing with contemporary tools. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Guns are fine overall appearing orig, authentic and complete. Bbls are overall plum with gun “1” showing strong traces of bright blue finish in protected areas and gun “2” 10-20% bright blue. Bbls have several dents and other blemishes with staining and light pitting. Breeches, locks and hammers have hints of case colors being overall gray and smooth with staining and light pitting. There is a well executed welded crack repair in the hammer on gun “1” that does not affect aesthetics. Stocks are sound and solid with well fit German silver mountings. Gun “1” has large chip on right side of butt. Mechanically guns are functional though gun “2” does not have working half cock. Rifling in bores is well discerned and crisp with pitting. 4-54305 JS190 (7,500-9,500) – Lot 3426
