COLT Third Model “THUER” Deringer Pistol in .41
Description: COLT Third Model “THUER” Deringer Pistol in .41 19 & 20th Cent HIDEOUT Self-Defense Pocket Pistol Here we present a Colt Third Model Thuer Deringer, also known as the New Model Deringer, made circa the 1890s. 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 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. This pistol was made for the British market, thus British proofs are marked on the underside of the barrel. Serial number is marked on the grip frame, under the grips, as well as in pencil on each grip panel. The number “34” on the bottom of the exterior grip frame is likely an assembly number. The overall condition is fine. The nickel plate finish is 99%. The original high polish blued finish is 50%. The markings are clear and legible. The serial numbers match. The original walnut grips are very fine. The bore is in very good condition. The action is strong. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-1/2 inches in length. Caliber: .41 rimfire The bore is in very good condition and the firing mechanism is excellent. Overall condition as seen in photos.
