PROFUSELY ENGRAVED COIN SILVER MOUNTED R.P. BRUFF DERRINGER.

PROFUSELY ENGRAVED COIN SILVER MOUNTED R.P. BRUFF DERRINGER. SN NSN. This silver mounted R.P. Bruff Derringer is among the most profusely engraved of all Derringer type percussion pistols. This gun is pictured on a full page in 4 photographs in Doug Eberharts classic 1985 text co-written by Larry Wilson The Derringer in America page 100. Photos give credit to the Herbert Ratner Collection and the Author believe that the engraving possibly was from the Gustav Young workshop. This is indeed a beautiful gun. CONDITION: Metal overall is brown/gray with two gold bands inset at bbl breech. The hammer spur has a braised repair but it appears quite old and possibly even contemporary due to the build up of patina to the brass alloy in the braise. The engraved silver mounts, including trigger guard and escutcheons, are all engraved and in good condition. There is a vignette of a running stallion on the trigger bow. The hammer on this gun matches it quite nicely, however when orig pictured in Eberhart a plain unassociated hammer is shown. 4-47682 JS47 (3,000-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2013

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
