Philadelphia Derringer
.41 Caliber. 2.25" barrel length. SN: NSN. Single-shot percussion pistol with 7-groove rifled barrel, fine engravings, and fixed sights. Blued metal finish with German silver hardware and a finely checkered walnut stock. Features fine engravings of floral script to cock lever, lockplate, trigger guard, tang, and escutcheons. Marked "DERINGER/PHILADEL." to top of breech and to lockplate. Barrel is partially octagonal and partially rounded with a simulated damascus patterning to finish. Very few deringers retain such vibrant original finish on the barrel. There is also a "P" mark to left of breech. Henry Deringer produced the Philadelphia derringer from 1852-1868, and it was same make and model of weapon used by John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln.
Condition:
Very good. Bore has some dark spots and oxidation. Small spot of residue or oxidation toward muzzle, but otherwise finish and wood stock are in great condition.
