ENGRAVED Antique ANDREW WURFFLEIN “PHILADELPHIA DERINGER” Percussion Pistol Period & Quality Copy of Henry Deringer’s Famous Pistol
Description: ENGRAVED Antique ANDREW WURFFLEIN “PHILADELPHIA DERINGER” Percussion Pistol Period & Quality Copy of Henry Deringer’s Famous Pistol Here we present an antique Andrew Wurfflein Deringer Percussion Pistol, made circa the 1850s. Wurfflein arrived in New York from Germany in 1832 and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By 1840, he was granted U.S. citizenship. In 1844, his brother John, also a gunsmith by trade, immigrated. They worked together for some time, and were two of the six that founded the Shuetzen Verein, a prominent German shooting club in Philadelphia. Their work included rifles and pistols, including close copies of their Philadelphia neighbor Henry Deringer’s hit pocket pistol. 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, despite its darkening. Average handling wear is present throughout the wood. Legible markings and engravings. The forend escutcheon is missing. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-1/2 inches. Caliber: .44 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 $1800 #233540 SOLD Antique: Yes |
