CASED IVORY WILLIAMSON SINGLE SHOT DERINGER.

CASED IVORY WILLIAMSON SINGLE SHOT DERINGER. SN 3764. Cal. 41. Rarely seen are ivory stocked Deringers and they are always controversial however, the ivories on this gun have good “mellow” patina that appear orig. The casing of this single pistol retains woodblock with 12 orig cartridges and an auxiliary chamber made of blued steel for use with percussion cap. Gun conforms in configuration to other examples with 2-1/2″ bbl which slides forward for loading, brass frame and trigger guard and “WILLIAMSON’S PAT. OCT. 2 1866 NEW YORK” on left side of bbl with the distinctive decorative arrow motif engraved on top of bbl. Brass frame and trigger guard are engraved and are gold plated which is a scarce feature on these guns along with silver plated bbl. This is an interesting cased gun that presents nicely. CONDITION: Bbl and frame have matching serial numbers. Bbl markings are crisp and easily discerned. Bbl retains about 80% of its orig silver plating with freckling and pitting. Brass frame and trigger guard retain about 30-40% of their orig gold plating especially in protected areas. The trigger guard screw which also acts as stop for bbl is probably replaced as it does not have the typical engraving found normally on head. Ivory stock are sound and solid with good discernible checkering; several hairline cracks typical of old ivory, one crack on left side of stock has about 1/2″ by 1/32″ chip as can be seen in photos. Stocks fit fairly well but there are gaps and protrusions above plane of ivory as can be seen in photos. The 8-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ x 1-3/16″ accompanying casing is fitted with green velvet and is French form fitted which is in overall very good condition. Keyhole is missing its escutcheon. 4-46283 JS160 (7,500-12,500)
