Antique COLT Third Model “THUER” Single Shot .41 NEW MODEL Deringer Pistol
Nice BRITISH PROOFED Pistol; One of 45,000
Description: Antique COLT Third Model “THUER” Single Shot .41 NEW MODEL Deringer Pistol Nice BRITISH PROOFED Pistol; One of 45,000 Here we present an antique British Proofed Colt Third Model Thuer Deringer, also known as the New Model Deringer, made circa the early 1880s with a production run between 1875 and 1912. This example is one of the earlier versions with the straight back hammer and a more curled grip frame. During this span, Colt manufactured 45,000 of these deringers. The serial number series ran from 1 to 45,000, though the yearly production numbers are not known. In 1870 Colt’s purchased National Arms Company and began producing a Deringer pistol based on its design. This became Colt’s First Model Deringer, and it was Colt’s first single shot pistol. It was followed in quick succession by a very similar pistol, called Colt’s Second Model Deringer. Both of these deringer pistols were chambered for .41 rimfire and featured a barrel that rotated counter-clockwise for loading and unloading. In the same year, a Colt employee, F. Alexander Thuer, patented an altogether different design. His Deringer 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. 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 two models as the Third Model Deringer but are 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, when semi-automatic firearms took the lion’s share of the market. The overall condition is good. Strong action. Good bore for its age, both grips are in good shape with light handling wear. Legible markings. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-1/2 inches. Caliber: .41 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail!
