RARE, American Civil War, Hanes Excelsior Percussion Hand Grenade. Sn - 23131
The Hanes Excelsior hand grenade was one of the two main hand grenades used in the American Civil War and was the invention of W.W. Hanes in early 1862. The Hanes grenade was a simple weapon, merely a cast iron ball with a hollow centre which was filled with gunpowder. The grenade measures approximately 2 inches in diameter and had 12 evenly spaced protruding percussion nipples round its circumference onto which percussion caps were placed. When thrown, the force of the percussion caps striking the ground detonated the grenade. The Excelsior hand grenade has percussion nipples, each requiring attachment of a percussion cap before throwing the grenade. It would only take one cap to trigger the explosion, and soldiers trying to use Hanes’s grenade found out the hard way that it was too easy to accidentally set off one of the percussions caps. The percussion caps used were not the same type of caps used to fire percussion muskets and revolvers, rather they were special grenade caps produced by DuPont which used a very refined form of mercury fulminate, causing the caps to be highly sensitive to percussion. While this ensured that the grenade would hopefully detonate reliably it also made the grenade very dangerous to carry unless its percussion caps were not in place. Any bump or jostle of the grenade could cause an accidental explosion. Due to the dangerous nature of the grenade, they were rarely used when issued. This is an original Hanes Excelsior hand grenade from the American Civil War and is in excellent condition. and has a carrying loop attached to the casting. 11 of the original percussion nipples are present as is the wire carrying ring. The casing of the grenade has a nice patina to the surface. Due to the dangerous properties of this hand grenade, very few were made or issued.

1875 - 1912 American Colt No.3 Second Model .41 Rim Fire Obsolete Calibre Factory Nickel Plated Brass Frame Single Shot Derringer With Pivot Barrel & Traces Of Original Factory Nickel Plate Finish. Sn 23166 - 23166
An excellent original .41 Cal Rim Fire, Colt No.3 derringer. Production ran from 1875 through until 1912. The No.3 came in several different variations, or models, with changes being made to the shape of the hammer or the size of the grips. We think this pistol is the No.3 2nd model with the slanting hammer, as opposed to the upright hammer of the 1st model, or larger grips of the 3rd model. Our example has brass frame traces of original factory nickel plate finish & a sheathed trigger. Its 2 ½” steel barrel correctly pivots to the right for loading (the hammer must be at half cock to pivot the barrel). The pistol is 5” overall length. The barrel has a brass blade fore sight. Its rifled bore has staining & residue consistent with age and use. The top of the barrel is signed by the manufacturer ‘Colt’ and the brass frame has .41 Cal. It has its original American walnut grips which are secured with a single recessed brass screw bolt. The wood has just light scuffs consistent with age & handling. The serial numbers are often stamped beneath the grips, and are not visible unless the grips are removed (we have not removed the grips). Its loading and firing actions work crisply. The price includes UK delivery. NB as an obsolete calibre rim fire derringer no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display.
