A.J. PLATE, SAN FRANCISCO AGENT MARKED HENRY DERINGER.

A.J. PLATE, SAN FRANCISCO AGENT MARKED HENRY DERINGER. SN NSN. Cal. 41. Henry Deringer with desirable San Francisco agent A.J. Plate markings on bbl. This gun is 5-3/4″ overall with a 1-3/4″ bbl. There is an “M” stamped at base of trigger guard which according to Doug Eberhart this denotes A.J. Plates inventory. CONDITION: Gun is good overall with stock restoration above lock in about a 1-1/2″ area between breech and lock. Stock is well worn though most cross hatching is still discernible. There is a poor fit of lock and bbl to stock with a discernible gap between metal and wood as can be seen in photographs. German silver mountings are good overall with good engraving. Hammer appears to be a new restoration though it appears an exact Henry Deringer copy though still retaining dark finish, which would be associated with a higher condition gun. Bbl and lock on this gun are gray/white with good discernible markings and engraving with scattered areas of staining and pitting. Escutcheon plate on bottom of gun is silver, not German silver and also a probable replacement. 4-47665 JS31 (2,000-3,000)

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.
