ENGRAVED/SILVER Mounted Antique DERRINGER Percussion Pistol KILLED LINCOLN
Period Copy of Henry Deringer’s Famous Pistol
Here we present an antique “DERRINGER” Marked Period Copy of Henry Deringer’s Percussion Pocket Pistol, made circa the 1850s-60s. 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. 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 good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Dark barrel patina. Solid wood, nice checkered grip. Light floral engraved lock and hammer. Markings are legible.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 4 inches.
