RARE Post-CIVIL WAR Antique NATIONAL ARMS No. 2 .41 RF Derringer WILD WEST

FACTORY ENGRAVED Swivel Barrel PRE-COLT Pistol

Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Scarce Factory Engraved National Arms Company No. 2 Derringer Pistol, made just after the close of the American Civil War with a production run between 1865 and 1870 in Brooklyn, New York. Only 12,000 of these were made by National Arms before the company was purchased by Colt. This scarce little Deringer is chambered for a single shot of .41 rimfire, a likely choice for very concealable self-defense in the last half of the 19th Century.

The entire barrel swivels on a hinge for loading, when the hammer is put into half cock and the release button is pushed. The hammer is split and acts as the rear sight when in full cock. After the original maker, Moore’s, was purchased by the National Arms Co., the Colt Firearms Co. bought National Arms and started making the pistol in 1870.

This overall condition is very good. Strong action. Bright, rifled bore with some light pitting. Fine grips. Nicely engraved frame. Markings are legible. This example shows an original silver finish with a gray patina.

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