H. DERINGER / PHILADA"
Martial Contract Flintlock Pistol
Description: Henry Derringer, Pliladelphia, c 1813 Contract Flintlock Pistol. U.S. MARTIAL PISTOL WITH USE DURING THE "WAR OF 1812". He opened his factory in Philadelphia in 1806 and would later become famous for his percussion pocket pistol. Nearly identical examples, are seen in "Historic Pistols" by Smith & Bitter, on pages 286 through 287. This 60 caliber smoothbore round 10 inch barrel is stamped "P" in a faint sunken oval cartouche on top of the breech. The lock is a good professional reconversion. The flat lock-plate has beveled edges and is stamped "H. DERINGER / PHILADA" in the center. The brass mounts retain a mustard patina. The stocked is plain walnut, and the wooden ramrod is probably a period replacement. The stock has several scattered pieces replaced on both sides. Antique: Yes Price: $3,100.00 Contact Seller |
