PAIR OF ANDREW WURFFLEIN DERRINGER PISTOLS. This is a fairly well matched pair of pistols considering they had been apart for many years and reunited at a Las Vegas gun show about 20 years ago (see Man at Arms, Feb 1995, p. 39). These guns measure about 8-1/2″ overall with 4-1/2″ bbl, including breech. Bbls are signed “A WURFFLEIN” and the locks are signed “PHILa”. German silver mounts and steel are engraved in suite. Guns have two thin gold bands at breech and bores measure about 40 caliber. PROVENANCE: Dick Littlefield; Tom Wibberley; Doug Eberhart; Dave Stewart collection. CONDITION: Guns are very good to fine overall. Metal surfaces have traces of finish in protected areas with overall staining and pitting. It is interesting to note both guns have cracked repairs above and below lock in similar places even though these guns were separated for so long. Remnants of glossy varnish are present on both guns. 4-49617 JS31 (5,500-7,000)
