Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: Antique ENGRAVED WILLIAMSON Single Shot DERINGER Engraved Rimfire/Percussion Combination Pistol Here we present an antique Williamson Deringer, made circa 1866 in Brooklyn, New York. According to Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms, this was invented by David Williamson and this unique design that was meant to be the stopgap between a time when the benefits of cartridge pistols were obvious and desirable, but ammunition supply in certain places was questionable. He chambered his deringer for the .41 rimfire cartridge, but included a small adapter that allowed the user to use it as a percussion pistol as well. The hammer was such that it would strike the percussion cap if the adapter was being used (see the hole in the center of the breech face), but also had a rimfire striker when that ammunition was used. Fewer than 10,000 of these were made between the Moore’s Patent Fire Arm Company and National Fire Arm Company. The design shows a clear likeness to Henry Deringer's original percussion single shot pistol from the 1840's...especially in size and profile. It even uses Deringer's distinctive wrap-around checkering on the grip handle. The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a gray patina. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock shows appropriate wear for the age. The bore is clear with good rifling. The action on this pistol is strong. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
