SILVER MOUNTED Antique C. CURRY Retailer HENRY DERINGER Percussion Pistol
Factory Engraved SAN FRANCISCO SHIPPED Pistol
Description: SILVER MOUNTED Antique C. CURRY Retailer HENRY DERINGER Percussion Pistol Factory Engraved SAN FRANCISCO SHIPPED Pistol Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Silver Mounted Henry Deringer Percussion Pocket Pistol, made circa 1852 to 1863 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This example is marked “C. CURRY / SAN FRANCO CALA”. C. Curry of San Francisco, California, was one of just fifteen authorized agents for Henry Deringer selling his famous pocket pistols. Born in Ireland and operating in Philadelphia from 1837 to 1852, Charles Curry sold arms in San Francisco from 1852 until his death in 1863, becoming the sole West Coast agent for Deringer in 1858, a position he left to his sons, Nathaniel and John. The Civil War brought new technology to weapons and when sales of the Deringer pistol declined, Henry turned to the courts to defend his trademark. Suits were brought against several of the imitators, but it was his successful 1863-70 case against A. J. Plate that set patent infringement history. A District court awarded Deringer $1,770 in damages and issued a permanent injunction against Plate's use of the Deringer trademark. On appeal the California supreme court upheld the verdict. The overall condition is fine. Some original finish is preserved in low traveled areas, neighboring a smooth gray patina. The bore is in good shape for its age with serviceable rifling. Markings are sharp. Traditional floral engravings adorn the lock, guard, and hammer. The wood is in good shape with a small sliver repair on the left forend tip. A thin split is just to the right of the barrel tang. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2 inches.
