Original 1786-1868 Philadelphia Deringer .45 Calibre Percussion Pocket Pistol. A 1099. - A 1099
An excellent example of a Philadelphia Deringer (1786-1868) and produced from 1852 through to 1868. This small Deringer or pocket pistol was part of every travelers survival kit. This example features buried wood and silver mounts. Although Henry Deringer manufactured other types of firearms, he is perhaps best known for his pocket pistols. In fact, his name has become generically- associated with these arms. Deringer pocket pistols were quite popular in California, although the Gold Rush was well underway before they were produced in quantity. A Deringer manufactured pistol similar to this one was used by John Wilkes Booth in his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at Fords theatre on April 14th 1865. It has a lovely walnut stock with a decorated birds beak grip with silver plate base. Silver escutcheons on the top and sides, brass trigger guard and cocks and dry fires. It has a 3” steel flat topped, round barrel in .45” calibre. Lovely engraved percussion pistol and no license is required to possess in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display. The price includes UK delivery. A 1099. (Drawers office)
