Antique Colt #3 Thuer Derringer British Proofed. 41 Rim Fire. Excellent Condition
Description: SOLD.... REDUCED PRICE..Antique Colt Derringer #3 Thuer Model. British proofed on barrel. Standard 2 1/2” barrel and in .41 rim fire. S/N 48059 and all matching. I can't break the barrel screw lose from the frame but I can see the top of the 9 when the barrel is open so I am quite sure it is matching. Grips matching as well. Very nice little gun here with about 40% bright but thinning barrel blue on the top and right side of the barrel. Left side has been worn off from opening as is common on this model. Just a very small speak on the end of the right side at the muzzle and barely into the metal. The frame has all of the factory silver finish showing no wear exposing the bronze frame. Markings are excellent and has a number 34 on the butt ?? Sorry but I pulled the camera on this photo so it is a little blurry. ID number or who knows. Your guess on this. No dings on the top of the barrel from the firing pin hitting the barrel because of improper opening and closing on this gun. Most every one of these you see has the dings on the barrel even on minty guns. This one has never been abused. Screws still show bright blue on the heads and the ends. The mechanics are excellent with very tight like new lock up and perfect hammer notches. The bore is well above average on this one with very good rifling showing with some roughness see photos. The hammer still shows bright case colors on the sides of the firing pin and some on the rear of the hammer also but stating to fade a little on the rear. The grips are excellent as well with most all the original varnish and NO cracks or chips and numbered to the gun in pencil. Untouched front sight with no dings or abuse. This is a very nice little Colt Derringer and all though not minty, still a very nice example with British proofs for the collector of these very popular Derringers at a most reasonable price. Shop around and compare, then call me... I have sold a few of these with a bit more blue on the barrel for a little more $$ but never had one with this much silver on the frame. All original and never messed with. Call 765-728-8049 for any questions or more photos. $18 insured mail. SOLD Antique: Yes |
