N. Curry & Bro. San Francisco California Agent Marked Henry Deringer Philadelphia Derringer Wild West Gambler Pocket Pistol *RARE*
Description:
*SOLD* Rare & Desirable N. Curry & Bro. San Francisco, California Agent Marked Henry Deringer "Philadlephia Derringer" Percussion Pocket Pistol, .40 Cal, mfg. circa 1860's. This is a fantastic example of a genuine Philadelphia Derringer which was originally retailed in California just as the Wild West era was kicking off. Dealer Charles Curry of San Francisco was perhaps the largest West Coast agent for Henry Deringer's famous pocket pistols and upon his death in 1863 the company was handed over to his brothers Nathaniel and John (N. Curry & Bro) who continued until 1882. The pistol is just about the size of the derringer that killed President Lincoln measuring 5 5/8" long overall with a 2 1/2" double platinum banded barrel. It is fitted with a sighted breech and very neatly filed dovetailed German silver blade front sight. The engraved lock is stamped "DERINGER / PHILADELA" with this marking repeated over the breech and "N. CURRY & BRo. / SAN FRANCo CALa / AGENTS" stamped on the top flat of the barrel. The metal has a smooth plum patina drifting to dark gray with sharp edges and markings. The stock features a checkered grip and retains an attractive worn appearance with much original varnish remaining. There is a very tight old crack ahead of the wedge escutcheon on either side and a tight secure old crack running between the tip of the lock around to the left side of the trigger. Finely engraved German silver shield escutcheon, sideplate, triggerguard, wedge escutcheon, muzzle inlay, and buttcap with nipple compartment. The action is very crisp and functions flawlessly. Clean original nipple. Fair bore with lightly worn seven-groove rifling. Authentic Philadlephia Derringers, and especially those with retailer markings, are always in high demand as they represent an iconic piece of American Civil War and Wild West history. Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique arms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique arms" will also include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique arms. Antique arms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique arms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any antique arms shipped to New Jersey must ship to a licensed FFL holder, no exceptions. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. Items containing antique ivory will not be sold or shipped to residents of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, or Washington. Antique muzzleloaders and antiques which fire obsolete cartridges may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, credit card (no additional fees), or bank wire. Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. Items are professionally packed and shipped USPS Priority Mail with insurance coverage for the sale price and signature required for delivery. Items valued over $5,000.00 are shipped Registered Mail. Buyer pays actual shipping costs with no added charge for packing materials or handling. We describe items accurately and thoroughly. If an item has been misrepresented or significant defect overlooked you may return it for a full refund (minus return shipping costs) within 3 days of having received it. This timeframe begins once the package is delivered by the carrier. Buyer's remorse or concerns over issues noted in the description and/or pictures is not a valid excuse for return. Returned items must be received in the same condition as originally shipped - cleaning, disassembly, alteration, or damage of any kind will void inspection privileges. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account and any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with Jeremiah Johnson Trading. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All antique arms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm.

Description:
*SOLD* Rare & Desirable N. Curry & Bro. San Francisco, California Agent Marked Henry Deringer "Philadlephia Derringer" Percussion Pocket Pistol, .40 Cal, mfg. circa 1860's. This is a fantastic example of a genuine Philadelphia Derringer which was originally retailed in California just as the Wild West era was kicking off. Dealer Charles Curry of San Francisco was perhaps the largest West Coast agent for Henry Deringer's famous pocket pistols and upon his death in 1863 the company was handed over to his brothers Nathaniel and John (N. Curry & Bro) who continued until 1882. The pistol is just about the size of the derringer that killed President Lincoln measuring 5 5/8" long overall with a 2 1/2" double platinum banded barrel. It is fitted with a sighted breech and very neatly filed dovetailed German silver blade front sight. The engraved lock is stamped "DERINGER / PHILADELA" with this marking repeated over the breech and "N. CURRY & BRo. / SAN FRANCo CALa / AGENTS" stamped on the top flat of the barrel. The metal has a smooth plum patina drifting to dark gray with sharp edges and markings. The stock features a checkered grip and retains an attractive worn appearance with much original varnish remaining. There is a very tight old crack ahead of the wedge escutcheon on either side and a tight secure old crack running between the tip of the lock around to the left side of the trigger. Finely engraved German silver shield escutcheon, sideplate, triggerguard, wedge escutcheon, muzzle inlay, and buttcap with nipple compartment. The action is very crisp and functions flawlessly. Clean original nipple. Fair bore with lightly worn seven-groove rifling. Authentic Philadlephia Derringers, and especially those with retailer markings, are always in high demand as they represent an iconic piece of American Civil War and Wild West history.
