NICELY Engraved 1870s DERINGER 32 Rimfire Revolver
Made by Henry Deringer’s Great Grandson!
Here we present an antique Engraved Henry Deringer .32 Rimfire Pocket Revolver, made circa 1873-79 by I.J. Clark in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Henry Deringer is perhaps one of the most recognized name in firearms history, so much so that his name became a noun in the English language, still in use today. He was known for his handsome design for single-shot percussion pistols made in Philadelphia and used all over the U.S. beginning in the 1830s and through his death in 1868. His design was much copied and his name used on these copies without his permission to increase sales. Unsurprisingly, after his death, things were no different. His family continued to use his name and his great grandson, I. Jones Clark, produced a series of pocket-sized, spur trigger revolvers that were all the rage with the close of Smith & Wesson’s monopoly on the market due to the expiration of the Rollin White patent. In fact, these revolvers were very well-made copies of S&W’s seminal rimfire revolvers, with the primary difference being the sturdier barrel latch at the bottom of the frame. These are certainly extremely well made and very collectible. Only 6,900 estimated to have been made.
The overall condition is very fine. 97% of the original nickel finish remains. The case colors are visible but silvered. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The rosewood grips are in nice condition. The bore is semi-bright with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. Here is a very handsome, engraved revolver with a pedigree from Henry Deringer’s line!
