ENGRAVED & SILVER Mounted Antique DERINGER Percussion Pistol KILLED LINCOLN
Henry Deringer’s Famous Pocket Pistol GERMAN SILVER
Here we present an antique Henry Deringer Percussion Pocket Pistol, made circa the 1850s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. President Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed with one of Henry Deringer’s pocket sized percussion pistols, the night John Wilkes Booth revenged the South at the Ford Theater. 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.
The name “Deringer” often invokes certain historical event, characters or moments in film. Deringer’s name has become both a noun and a catch-all term. President Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed with one of Henry Deringer’s pocket sized percussion pistols, the night John Wilkes Booth revenged the South at the Ford Theater. They conjure images of the California Gold Rush, as well as riverboat gamblers. These pistols were very practical for the time, being small and concealable and of large bore size.
Though worn, this pistol has all the typical Henry Deringer style markings including a sunburst “P” on the left side. “DERINGER/PHILA” marked on the breech and lock.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age, showing some oxidation and crisp rifling. The wood has about an average amount of handling with a stable crack on the right side of the grip. The markings are mostly legible, but in some cases are worn. Lightly engraved.
