ENGLISH PROOFED COLT 2ND MODEL 2ND VARIATION DERINGER

ENGLISH PROOFED COLT 2ND MODEL 2ND VARIATION DERINGER. SN 8513. 41 cal. short rim fire. This 2nd Model 2nd variation Colt Deringer has English proofs & extremely rare dealership marking of “R. JONES” in one stamp & located underneath in another stamp “MANCHESTER ST.,/LIVERPOOL”. These are found on the left side of the bbl. The orig finish was blued bbl with silver plated frame with orig ivory grips. It is also fitted with a shell ejector. The iron frame is also marked “41 CAL.” under the bbl release button. PROVENANCE: Malcolm Arterburn Collection, L.D. Eberhart Collection. CONDITION: The very lovely patina orig factory grips have only one small age crack at the bottom on the left grip. The frame, which initially was silver plated, has only traces under the grips. The metal frame which is gun-metal gray has some minute pitting on both sides but is hardly noticeable. The bbl which initially was blued has the English proof marks on the bottom next to the SN & has mainly faded away with some bright blue still remaining around the bbl screw area. The hammer retains small traces of case color as does the trigger. The piece is equipped with a knife-blade ejector which was a carry-over from the National Firearms era, which Colt took over. The screw holding the ivory grips on retains its bright fire blue. The “R. JONES” marking which was a bad stamping, only shows “R. JO” and nothing else. The “MANCHESTER ST./LIVERPOOL” stamping is still there & in excellent condition. Guns marked & sold by this dealer are extremely rare & very seldom ever seen. 4-47452 DE72 (1,700-3,000)
