Hopkins & Allen XL Derringer

Manufactured circa 1870s with a total quantity estimated at 2,000. Top barrel flat marked "XL DERRINGER" and "PAT. APR. 5, 1870" on the upper left flat. Although the derringer does not bear Hopkins and Allen markings, it does appear in their advertising literature. Iron frame and fitted with bird head grips.

ConditionFine. The barrel has traces of blue with the balance a mottled gray patina with some very scattered mild pitting. The frame retains 95% original nickel plating showing some light flaking and some loss along the edges. The hammer and trigger retain traces of original case colors. The grips are fine with high edge wear and a few minor handling marks.
