German silver blade front and notch rear sights, marked "P" flanked with zig-zags on the upper left flat, scroll engraving on the tang and a fine "bronzed" streak pattern on the barrel. This streaking was a signature feature of the original Deringer Pocket Pistol, which is frequently lost to age, wear and the elements, leaving strong examples scarce. Scroll engraving is also present on the hammer and lock, the latter bearing the "DERINGER/PHILADELA" address, and a burst pattern on the bolster. The checkered pistol grip stock is outfitted with scroll engraved German silver furniture, with a brass-shod wooden ramrod/cleaning rod, "7" on the rear trigger guard finial, and a floral-pattern engraved patch box lid on the butt.

Excellent, with 95% plus of the original brown finish, showing some mild handling marks, light scratches, and a remarkably large amount of the original streaking. A dark patina is forming on the casehardened parts, with a few spots of bright original color and mild handling marks. Stock is very fine, with some mild edge wear and dents. Mechanically excellent.
