Colt Derringer 41rimfire W/Pearls
Description: Colt Derringer 41 Rim Fire Manufactured in Hartford Connecticut in 1885. The overall condition is good. Original nickel and silver finish no 90% nickel on the barrel and 20% silver on the frame. The action is excellent. The bore is quite pitted from black powder use. The Pearl grips are in good shape. There is COLT on the top of the barrel and 41 cal. on the frame. Serial number 11719 in the year 1874, a Colt employee, F. Alexander Thuer, patented an altogether different design. His Derringer had a barrel that pivoted to the right on a vertical axis for loading and unloading. Instead of using a manually operated latch to open, his used a very positive, spring-loaded catch and detent that did not require anything but a firm twist of the barrel after the hammer was half cock. This spring-loaded catch also acted as an automatic ejector, which was very handy for a single shot self-defense pistol. These were sold alongside the other Colt model derringer first model and the second model. The Third Model Derringer now known to many as the Thuer Model. The Thuer was far and away the most successful of the three. These were very refined, very handy conceal and carry pieces all the way through 1912 then Colt quit Manufacturing them because sales dropped off. “Antique ship right to your Door” PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR CONDTION Price: $895.00 Antique: Yes Handgun Caliber: .41 Rimfire Manufacturer: Colt Model: Derringer Grips: Pearls Contact Seller |
