Description:
IRISH “ANDREWS” Marked ENGRAVED/SILVER Antique DERRINGER Percussion Pistol

“CLONES” Period Copy Henry Deringer’s Famous Pistol

Here we present an antique “ANDREWS” and “CLONES” Marked Period Copy of Henry Deringer’s Percussion Pocket Pistol, made circa the 1850s-60s. This example has "Andrews" marked on the back action lock, along with "CLONES" (Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland) and "S.SUTHERLAND / RICHMOND, VA" marked top barrel flat.

The name “Deringer” often invokes certain historical event, characters or moments in film. Deringer’s name has become both a noun and a catch-all term. President Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed with one of Henry Deringer’s pocket sized percussion pistols, the night John Wilkes Booth revenged the South at the Ford Theater. They conjure images of the California Gold Rush, as well as riverboat gamblers. These pistols were very practical for the time, being small and concealable and of large bore size.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. The nipple is in fair shape. The bore is in good shape for its age. Nicely engraved lock, hammer, guard, and tang. Silver inlaid barrel bands. Solid wood overall, with evidence of much use and thin, stable cracks on both sides of the forend. Markings are legible. Replacement ramrod hinge screw.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 3 inches.

Caliber: .54 Percussion
