These "Saw Handle Derringers" were manufactured in 1865-1888. The vast majority were plain, but this example has beautiful period retailer applied floral scroll and punch dot engraving, with starbursts on either side of the rear half of the barrel. The top has the two-line address and patent marking, and the serial number is on the left of the grip frame under the grips. It is fitted with a pair of smooth antique ivory grips. Includes a leatherette wrapped case.

Very fine, retains 98% plus of the period re-plated nickel finish with a few scattered speckles of light pitting (under the plating) on the upper right of the barrel and the trigger and crisp engraving. The grips are also very fine with a few light handling marks and an attractively aged tone. Mechanically excellent. The case is good with the top and bottom halved separated and mild handling/storage wear.
