Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: Antique BULLDOG .44 Deringer Pistol by Conn. Arms SCARCE & LARGE Single Shot Deringer Here we present an antique Connecticut Arms & Manufacturing Co. Hammond Patent Bulldog Single Shot Deringer, made circa 1866 in Naubuc, Connecticut. Only about 7,400 were made. The Hammond brothers, Henry and Lewis, began their venture during the American Civil War in 1863. They tried for several years before they were granted a patent for this same breech-loading design found on this pistol, but they also made a longarm that was similar in function. By the time their patent and production were under way, the Civil War had reached its end and a glut of firearms on the market stymied many companies. As a result, production numbers of this pistol were quite limited, and these are quite unique and desirable today. This specimen is in good overall condition. The breech opens by pressing the plunger on top and pivoting to the left as seen in the photos. The frame is casehardened, and the balance of the gun has a coherent dark patina. Checkered gutta percha grips are in very good condition. Bore is in good condition with good rifling. Firing mechanism is excellent. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 inches in length. Caliber: .44 Rimfire 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 $875 #6102 SOLD Antique: Yes |
