DERINGER STYLE SINGLE SHOT PISTOL. SN NSN. This single shot Philadelphia style Deringer has 2-5/16″ bbl and measures 5-1/2″ overall. Breech is marked “DERINGE / PHILa”. There were many Deringer copies and counterfeits and this is one that misspelled “Deringer” purposely to deceive the buyer that they were buying a genuine “Henry Deringer”. This gun is like other Deringer style pistols of the mid 19th Century being German silver mounted and having engraved locks, hammers and breeches. CONDITION: Very good overall. Lock retains traces of muted case color, balance being silver/gray. Bbl and hammer are gray/brown overall with traces of color with scattered staining and pitting. Stock and mounts are sound and solid with some escutcheons protruding. Wood appears to have originally been painted black and still retains about 40% of that color. 4-46796 JS148 (1,500-2,500)
