CASED PAIR OF DERINGER PISTOLS CASED IN CLABROUGH & BROS. SAN FRANCISCO MARKED CASE. SN NSN. These are a matched pair of 44 Cal. Henry Deringer pistols with 3″ barrels and 6 1/2″ overall length. These pistols have the conventional Deringer markings except for the “P” on the breech without sunburst. Mountings are of engraved German silver. The pistols are cased with all accoutrements in a leatherette covered wood casing with red velvet lining. The case is approximately 12 3/4″ x 9 1/2″ x 2″ deep. The lid of the case is labeled “Clabrough & Bros. 630 Montgomery Street, S.F. Guns, Pistol and Rifle Manufacturers, Importers of Every Description of Fire Arms and Gun Materials”. The casing is very similar to the cased set on Pg. 38 of Eberhart’s “The Deringer in America”. CONDITION: Both pistols are in equally nice shape showing a great deal of orig finish on stocks and barrels. Each seem to be in orig condition with no repairs or alterations. All accoutrements in the case appear to be original to the set as does the velvet lining. The leather covering on the exterior of the case shows some minor tears and imperfections but is in better than average condition. All-in-all, this is an exceptional cased set of Deringer pistols. The pistols show no agent markings but the case appears to have been custom made for these pistols in San Francisco. 4-38000 RGG17 (5,000-10,000)
