F.H. CLARK Nashville TN Retailed Antique HENRY DERINGER Pistol Philadelphia .45 Caliber Pocket Sidearm Shipped South
Description: F.H. CLARK Nashville TN Retailed Antique HENRY DERINGER Pistol Philadelphia .45 Caliber Pocket Sidearm Shipped South Here we present an antique Henry Deringer Percussion Pocket Pistol, made circa the 1850s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This example is marked “MANd FOR / F.H. Clark & Co. / MEMPHIS TENN.” F.H. Clark & Company of Memphis was one of just fifteen authorized agents for Henry Deringer selling his famous pocket pistols. 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 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. The overall condition is very good. Original patina. The German silver trigger guard and sideplate are original. The other German silver inlays are replacements from some point. The hammer is likewise a replacement. The action is excellent. The bore is dim with worn rifling. The stock is solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/4 inches. Caliber: .45 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 $2200 #226057 SOLD Antique: Yes |
