Engraved Silver Banded Deringer Philadelphia Pocket Pistol "Peanut" Style with Trapdoor Compartment

Measuring a total length of 5 1/4 inches. Silver blade front and notch rear sights, with "P in a burst" stamped in the upper left flat and "DERINGER / PHILADELA" on the upper flat, with a pair of silver bands bordering the breech plug. "DERINGER/ PHILADELa" is marked on the lock plate. Fine scroll engraving is visible on the tang, hammer, lock, bolster, accent plate, reverse plate, initial plate, escutcheons, trigger guard, pineapple finial and the buttcap, which is fitted with a cap box. Such compartments are rare on smaller pistols. Checkered stock, with a silver triangular accent plate on the tip and a bird's head butt. Matching numbers on the trigger guard and compartment lid. Very unusual 5-groove rifling in barrel.

ConditionFine. Strong brown striping is 60% intact on the barrel, with the streaked gray twist pattern visible, and minor edge wear. The silver has been lightly polished, with a green patina on the band near the hammer and a darker patina in the engraving. Stock is good as repaired. Action is excellent.
