TWO MATCHING FACTORY ENGRAVED ALLEN & THURBER SINGLE SHOT BAR-HAMMER DERRINGERS WITH IVORY GRIPS
Description: RARELY FOUND IN PAIRS ARE THESE TWO MATCHING FACTORY ENGRAVED ALLEN & THURBER SINGLE SHOT BAR-HAMMER DERRINGERS WITH MATCHING IVORY GRIPS. These were serial numbered in batches and the numbers on these are #496 and #498. No doubt they were sold together and have been together ever since. Made from the late 1830s up to about the Civil War, these double action percussion pocket pistols gave Henry Deringer's products a good run for their money! They were actually a much better design as they had "snap-free" bar hammers and fired double action, which at the card-table range they were designed for were quicker to get into action than a single action piece with pronounced hammer that could easily get snagged on clothing. These also have screw-off barrels which made cleaning and loading from the breech easy with no ramrod required- just toss in a lead ball or bullet in the slightly oversized chamber, add black powder, screw on the barrel and cap. Pretty fast and easy. Consistent condition for both with nice gray patina metal and mellow, yellowing ivory grips that show no chips or breaks. Left sides of hammers are marked "ALLENS PATENT." Approx. .31 caliber with 2" half-octagon barrels, overall length about 5." fine matching engraving on the receiver sides (also indicates they were made as a pair). These don't turn up too often, especially with ivory grips and as a matched pair. $1850 SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: ALLEN & THURBER Model: BAR HAMMER DERRINGER Serial Number: 4XX EA. Barrel Length: 2 Condition: FINE |
