Description:
UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A MAGNIFICENT PRESENTATION MOORE'S PAT. FIREARMS DERRINGER. CAL 41 RIM FIRE. THIS IS THE FIRST LARGE CARTRIDGE DERRINGER PISTOLS MADE FROM 1860 TO 1865 FIRST UNDER MOORE AND THEN UNDER NATIONAL (TOTAL PRODUCTION ESTIMATED AT 6000 BETWEEN THE TWO COMPANIES). BOUGHT OUT BY COLT (1870) WHO CONTINUED PRODUCTION AS THE MODEL #1 COLT DERRINGER. ALL METAL FRAME OF BRASS. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IS A PRESENTATION GUN AS IT HAS NON STANDARD PANEL SCENE ENGRAVING FEATURING A SNIPE ON THE LEFT SIDE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT PANEL ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTIONS GO FOR AND HOW RARE THEY ARE. THIS IS THE ONLY PANEL ENGRAVED MOORE I HAVE SEEN IN OVER 50 YEARS OF COLLECTING MOSTLY DERRINGERS. THIS ONE IS FOR THE ADVANCED DERRINGER COLLECTOR. PLEASE SEE FLAYDERMAN 9TH EDITION PG. 498 8A-096. THE CONDITION ON THIS GUN CAN BE SEEN FROM THE PICS GUN RETAINS A CONSERVATIVE 80% OF ORIGINAL SILVER FINISH OVER THE BRASS FRAME AND CLOSE TO 98% OF SILVER FINISH ON THE BBL. THE BORE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH WITH ALMOST NO WEAR OR DISCOLORATION AND ABSOLUTELY NO PITTING. THE CONDITION OF THIS GUN IS REMARKABLE FOR A 150 YEAR OLD GUN. I WILL GRADE THIS GUN AS NRA ANTIQUE FINE. I AM NOT PUFFING THIS ONE UP, BUT YOUR CHANCES OF FINDING A BETTER ONE IS ALMOST NON EXISTANT AND YOUR CHANCE TO FIND ONE WITH PANEL SCENE ENGRAVING IS NON EXISTANT. PERSONAL CHECKS HELD 10 WORKING DAYS. POSTAL AND BANK CHECKS SHIPPED USUALLY WITHING ONE DAY BUT SOMETIMES TWO. ALL SALES TO AREAS NOT RECOGNIZING ANTIQUE FIREARMS AS ANTIQUES MUST BE THROUGH A FFL DEALER.
