Description:
Memphis TN Pre-Civil War Dealer LULLMAN & VIENNA Antique HENRY DERINGER .45
Famous Riverboat Gambler & Sneak Pistol
Here we present an antique Henry Deringer Percussion Pocket Pistol, made circa the 1850s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This example is marked “LULLMAN & VIENNA MEMPHIS TENN” which was one of just fifteen authorized agents for Henry Deringer selling his famous pocket pistols. In operation from the early 1860s to 1876, Lullman & Vienna sold general merchandise, in addition to arms from Henry Deringer and Deringer’s copyists.
Henry Deringer was a very successful Pennsylvanian gunsmith who started his own company in his early twenties, circa 1809. It was not until the 1850s that his prototypical “Deringer” percussion pistol became extremely popular. Once it did become popular, the basic design was copied in dozens of different shops. Not only was it copied, but Deringer’s good name was stamped on guns made by others, some of them not up to the quality standards of Deringer himself. The inventor was apparently very worried about protecting his good name, so he pursued and sued any of the counterfeiters that he could find and warned the buying public to beware of his spurious imitators.
The overall condition is very good. Strong action. This example has maintained a solid stock/grip with average wear. Legible markings. The bore is in good shape for its age with strong rifling. Lightly engraved. The “P” on the left barrel flat has been remarked. German silver hardware with engraving.
