Antique DERINGER Pistol ENGRAVED 1850s Engraved “PEANUT” Size Self Defense Pistol! Designed by Henry Deringer of Philadelphia, PA
Description: Antique DERINGER Pistol ENGRAVED 1850s Engraved “PEANUT” Size Self Defense Pistol! Designed by Henry Deringer of Philadelphia, PA Here we present an antique Deringer Pistol, made circa the 1850s. This single shot pistol would have fired a .41 caliber ball and was intended for self-defense. It is quite the attractive pistol, with its German silver accents and engraved hardware. 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. Here is what Charles Edwin Chapel had to say about the Deringer pistol: “For a man in a tight spot, with an armed enemy only a few feet away, a pair of single-shot Deringer pistols was more effective than the multishot pepperbox. You either got your man at the first or second shot—if, indeed, you were given the chance to fire twice—or you got a fast funeral. That heavy-calibered little gun was a man-stopper at short range, an effective surprise weapon, an “equalizer” with which many a gold-camp David permanently tamed the muscle-bulging, belligerent Goliaths of the frontier. Included in a man’s personal arsenal, the pistol was carried either as a principal weapon or as a reserve to be used when revolver, pepperbox or Bowie knife failed.” The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling. The wooden stock is solid throughout. A very well-made piece! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2 inches. Caliber: .41 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2000 #240320 SOLD Antique: Yes |
