Desirable CIVIL WAR Era RARE All Metal Antique NATIONAL ARMS No. 1 Deringer
ENGRAVED SCARCE SHORT BARREL Civil War-Era Pistol
Here we present an antique Engraved National Arms Company No. 1 Deringer, also known as the All Metal No. 1, made circa 1865 in Brooklyn, New York. Only about 3,000 of these were made by National Arms before the company was purchased by Colt. This specimen is a great representative example of a rare gun. To make it even better, the barrel is the very rare 2-inch variant, of which hardly any exist. The frame is engraved solid brass, and the barrel is of iron.
This scarce little Deringer is chambered for a single shot of .41 rimfire, a likely choice for very concealable self-defense in the last half of the 19th Century. The entire barrel swivels on a hinge for loading, when the hammer is put into half cock and the release button is pushed. The hammer is split and acts as the rear sight when in full cock. These pistols were of all metal construction and silver plated. It is of historical firearms significance in that it was the first large caliber metallic cartridge Deringer. In fact, after Moore’s was purchased by the National Arms Co., the Colt Firearms Co. bought National Arms and started making the pistol in 1870!
The overall condition is very good. Original silver finish remains in the low handled areas. Strong action. The bore is bright and strongly rifled. The engravings have maintained much of the floral details. Makers marks atop the barrel have worn, but do remain legible.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 2 inches.
Caliber: .41 rimfire
