MOORE’S PATENT. F.A. CO. BROOKLYN N.Y. FIFTH VARIATION DERINGER. SN 956. Cal. 41 Short RF. Early 5th Variation. Additional engraving on both sides of frame as it borders the hammer. Four petal flower engraved over breech. Very fancy thumbprint and toe print on backstrap with one print on each side of frame. Arrow running down each side of bbl which began to appear in early stages of 5th Variation. PROVENANCE: L.D. Eberhart Collection. CONDITION: Gun is all original, finish in full silver plate 90% remaining. Bbl markings are completely present but very faint because of the extremely thick plating and light stamping that Moore used. A few dents on left side of bbl at breech which appear to have been made by a blunt instrument. It does not deter from overall finish of gun. 4-47389 DE11 (1,500-2,500)
