ENGRAVED Antique WILLIAMSON Single Shot CONVERTIBLE .41 Deringer w/ADAPTER
RF/Percussion Combination Pistol w/ PERCUSSION ADAPTER
Description: ENGRAVED Antique WILLIAMSON Single Shot CONVERTIBLE .41 Deringer w/ADAPTER RF/Percussion Combination Pistol w/ PERCUSSION ADAPTER Here we present an antique Williamson Deringer, made circa 1867 in Brooklyn, New York with a production run between 1866 and 1870. According to “Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms”, this was invented by David Williamson and this unique design that was meant to be the stopgap between a time when the benefits of cartridge pistols were obvious and desirable, but ammunition supply in certain places was questionable. He chambered his deringer for the .41 rimfire cartridge, but included a small adapter that allowed the user to use it as a percussion pistol as well. The hammer was such that it would strike the percussion cap if the adapter was being used (see the hole in the center of the breech face), but also had a rimfire striker when that ammunition was used. Fewer than 10,000 of these were made between the Moore’s Patent Fire Arms Company and National Fire Arms Company. The design shows a clear likeness to Henry Deringer's original percussion single shot pistol from the 1840s, especially in size and profile. It even uses Deringer’s distinctive wrap-around checkering on the grip handle. This is a hard to find pistol and even harder to find one in this condition that includes the Percussion Adapter! The overall condition is very good. Strong action. The bore is semi-bright with nice rifling. Legible markings. Good wood with light handling wear. 85% of the brass is engraved with traditional floral designs. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-1/2 inches. Caliber: .41 Rimfire or .41 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #233250 SOLD Antique: Yes |
