BULLDOG Pistol SCARCE Deringer Here we present an antique Connecticut Arms & Manufacturing Co. Hammond Patent Bulldog Single Shot Deringer, made circa 1865-68 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 small and these are quite unique and desirable today. The overall condition is near fine with strong blue and case colored finish. The action is strong and tight all around. The bore is in good shape with expected darkening. The grips are firm and there is no wiggle at the hinge. Significant blue remains on the barrel. This bulldog still has some bite; Add it to your collection today! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 inches.
