SCARCE Antique CONNECTICUT ARMS & Mfg. Co. .44 RF “BULLDOG” Deringer Pistol
Rare HAMMOND PATENT Single Shot Deringer
Here we present an antique Connecticut Arms & Manufacturing Co. Hammond Patent Single Shot Deringer made in Naubuc, Connecticut. Sometime in late 1865 or early 1866 they introduced this single shot cartridge pistol design with a pivoting breech. Also known as the "Bulldog" this Hammond Patent, single shot, pivot breech pistol was one of less than 7400 manufactured between 1865 and 1868 when the company went under.
The Hammond brothers, Henry and Lewis, began their gun making 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 monster derringer pistol were quite small, and these are quite unique and desirable today.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Fine grips with light handling wear. Legible markings.
