Frank Wesson Double Barrel Derringer w/ Dirk, .41 RF, Restored, Cased, c.1860’s, Antique

Description:
           This Frank Wesson Large Frame Superposed pistol has a sliding Dirk mounted on the barrel pivot axis.  Approx. 2000 were made in the 1860’s. This early example is absent any markings, with the exception of the serial number “301” stamped on the frame under the left grip.
          Even though a large caliber, (.41) it remained a short range weapon. Its effectiveness was limited by the small amount of black powder that could be loaded into the short case.  The sliding dirk was hoped to be a reliable backup.
          Today we debate the merits of 16 rounds of 9mm in a semi automatic pistol with laser sights.
         The lock up on the pivoting barrels is just a bit loose but considering the chamber is in the barrel it may have been like this when new, perfectly functional.  The Dirk has a latch on the extended position only and it secures it until released.  Each bore shows strong rifling with some corrosion at the chamber / rifling interface. The Hammer catches on both the half cock and the full cock notches, The spring feels lighter than expected but nay be adequate for rimfire ammo. 
It is presented in a cherry wood case complemented with an 1869 dated 5 Cent coin, a nice presentation touch.
          This is an unusual firearm and an outstanding addition to any S&W Collection.  Early serial number 301. .41 Rim. with a 3” barrel.  ANTIQUE
