Very Nice SCARCE Antique DERINGER .22 Cal. RF POCKET Revolver NICKEL PLATED
By Henry Deringer’s Great Grandson w/ROSEWOOD GRIPS
Here we present an antique Deringer .22 Rimfire Pocket Revolver, made circa 1873-79 after Henry Deringer’s death in 1868 by I. Jones Clark in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Henry Deringer is perhaps one of the most recognized names 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 the time of his death. 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 .22 caliber revolvers and 4,000 .32 caliber revolvers were manufactured.
The overall condition is fine. Strong action. The bore is shiny bright and rifled. Fine grips. Original nickel finish. Markings are sharp. Numbers match.
