DUO OF WOLF & DURRINGER AGENT MARKED HENRY DERINGER PISTOLS.

SN NSN. This lot contains two Henry Deringer agent marked pistols. The first is quite fine measuring just under 7″, silver mounted with two silver bands in breech. Bbl measures 3″ and 3-9/16″ with breech. Bbl is correctly marked “WOLF & DURRINGER/LOUISe KY/AGENTS”. Breech and lock both marked “DERINGER/PHILADEL’A”. This gun is in fine condition retaining some of its orig brown finish, good engraving and sound varnished stock. There are even percussion caps found in trap in German silver buttcap. Second gun in this duo measures about 5-3/4″, with 2-3/8″ bbl, measuring 2-3/4″ with breech. This gun is German silver mounted and has a engraved bbl marking which is not the proper Henry Deringer style. Regardless the silver mounted large deringer in this grouping is quite fine and it is to be noted that there is a fine pair of Wolf & Durringer pistols that belonged to Buffalo Bill which are shown on p.31 of Eberhart & Wilson The Deringer in America Vol. 1. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Gun one is very good to fine with crisp original markings, some thin orig brown on bbl. Other iron surfaces are dark gray with light pitting. The two silver bands in breech are tarnished exposing their copper bases. Silver trigger guard and escutcheons are solid with good engraving. There is a “1” stamped in back of trigger guard occasionally seen on some agent marked guns, probably denoting 1 of a pair. German silver nosecap and buttcap are well fit as are other parts of gun into sound and solid stock that exhibits about 30% varnish especially in protected areas. Second gun in this group which is German silver mounted is good to very good overall with cleaned metal surfaces though markings including the engraved bbl address are quite discernible. Gun appears complete though hammer is possible replacement as its color is dissimilar to rest of gun. Cone is replaced, wood is refinished with a newer applied varnish. 4-54322 JS182 (6,000-8,000) – Lot 3450
