ENGRAVED/SILVER Mounted Antique DERRINGER STYLE Percussion POCKET Pistol   

Period Copy of Henry Deringer’s Famous Pistol

Here we present an antique Period Copy of Henry Deringer’s Percussion Pocket Pistol, made circa the 1850s. Henry Deringer was a very successful Pennsylvanian gunsmith who started his own company in his early twenties, circa 1809. It was not until the 1850s that his prototypical “Deringer” percussion pistol became extremely popular.

Once it did become popular, the basic design was copied in dozens of different shops. Not only was it copied, but Deringer’s good name was stamped on guns made by others, some of them not up to the quality standards of Deringer himself. The inventor was apparently very worried about protecting his good name, so he pursued and sued any of the counterfeiters that he could find and warned the buying public to beware of his spurious imitators.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is good for its age with visible rifling. The wood shows an average amount of handling wear. Traditional floral engravings are sharp. A mottled brown and gray patina has set in on most metal parts.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 1-3/4 inches.

Caliber: .44 Percussion
