WILD WEST Antique BROWN MANUFACTURING Co. “SOUTHERNER” .41 Deringer Pistol
SCARCE and DESIREABLE .41 Caliber Deringer
Description: WILD WEST Antique BROWN MANUFACTURING Co. “SOUTHERNER” .41 Deringer Pistol SCARCE and DESIREABLE .41 Caliber Deringer Here we present an antique Brown Manufacturing Company “Southerner” Deringer Pistol, made circa 1870 in Newburyport, Massachusetts. In 1860, Moore’s Patent Fire Arms Company started making a .41 caliber swivel barrel deringer. Though scarcely manufactured, it was well received. As a follow-up to Moore’s deringer, the “Southerner” deringer came along. This was a neat little turn-barrel pistol. Its name, emblazoned on the top of the barrel, was obviously intended to appeal to buyers south of the Mason-Dixon line, though laughingly it was manufactured in Newburyport, Mass., by Merrimack Arms and Brown Mfg. Co. Perhaps it was the makers' attempt at letting bygones be bygones for what occurred during the American Civil War, though probably it was just a very clever marketing ploy. Standard “Southerners” had 2 1/2-inch iron barrels, spur triggers, walnut or rosewood grips, and either iron or brass frames. The pistol was designed like many in its day to be a very simple, small and concealable self-defense tool. While much of the competition made their single shots in the tiny .22 and .32 calibers, Brown’s “Southerner” was in the relatively stout .41 rimfire used by the likes of National, Colt and Remington. The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is bright. Solid grips with an average amount of wear. Numbers match. “SOUTHERNER” is marked atop the barrel. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-1/2 inches. Caliber: .41 Rimfire 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 $1350 #247091 SOLD Antique: Yes |
