RARE A. MILLSPAUGH WASHINGTON, LOUISIANA AGENT MARKED HENRY DERINGER.

SN NSN. Abraham Millspaugh of Washington, LA is among the rarest of the fifteen official agents authorized to sell Henry Deringers. Eberhart & Wilson in their text The Deringer in America Vol. 1 simply mention A.J. Millspaugh as a druggist who for a very short time acted as one of Henry Deringer’s agents. This example measures about 6″ overall with 2-5/8″ bbl, 3″ including breech. This gun is typical German silver mounted and engraved with checkered varnished stock. Gun is Deringer marked on both lock and breech and marked on bbl “MADE FOR A. MILLSPAUGH/WASHINGTON,LA”. The finest pair of Henry Deringers ever sold were gold mounted and agent marked Millspaugh and sold once for over $300,000. This is the first orig Millspaugh agent marked gun I have seen come to market in a very long time. This is a fine orig gun that would be difficult to replace. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Gun appears orig and authentic throughout. Bbl shows hints of brown finish though overall gray, stained and pitted matching remainder of gun which is brown/gray with pitting. German silver mounts are well fit, complete with typical small scratches and blemishes. Bbl tang and breech have gap in their fit due to poor crack repair in stock. Stock otherwise is sound and solid with old wrist repair and about 1″ x 1/2″ inset between tang and lockplate escutcheon, stock still retains about 30% of its orig varnish. Mechanically gun functions and bore exhibits good discernible rifling with pitting. 4-54326 JS174 (6,000-8,000) – Lot 3441
