These Derringers are the style with 3 inch barrels and are not fitted with ram rods. Marked "DERINGER/PHILADELA" on the lock plates and breech plugs. The famous sunburst "P" used by Derringer as a trademark appears on the upper left flat of the breech plugs and there are two gold inlaid bands around the front and rear of the breech plugs. The barrels are a period brown striping with a lacquer finish and the lock plate, hammer casehardened. The trigger guard and furniture are silver. The lock, left side plate, trigger guard, hammer, barrel tang, thumb shield, barrel pin escutcheon and buttcap are nicely floral leaf engraved and there is a floral pattern on the side of the bolster as well. The front sights are German silver blade dove tailed in the barrel and the rear sights are the notch type on the barrel tang. There is a wavy border on the casehardened lock plates, hammers, barrel tangs and thumb shields. The stocks are extra fancy walnut with checkering in the grip area and a cap compartment in the butts. The pistols have the first style trigger guard with decorative, engraved finials and a small triangular forend insert. The pair are complete in a leather bound wooden presentation case with purple velvet lining, padded in the lid. The outside of the lid has a hand tooled square with decorative corners. The inside edge of the lid and body have a gold chain border. The case has fitted compartments for the two pistols, a copper and brass powder and cap flask with a relief oak leaf and acorn pattern, bright brass spout, top and bottom and two compartments in the bottom of the flask. The top of the flask is marked "AM. FLASK & CAP CO". There is also a wooden handled nipple wrench, a bullet mold marked "60", a wooden handled screwdriver marked "HUBER" on one side and "C. S????" on the other side, a 3 1/2 inch brass cleaning rod with a knurled handle area and jag tip, ebony handled rod with removable worm tip and approximately 14 lead balls. The lower right and upper left hand corners have a compartment with lids and small ivory pulls.

Excellent overall. The barrel retains 98% of the original brown copper striped finish. The hammer, left flat of the breech plug and lock plate retain much of the original bright case colors. The silver surfaces have a smooth even original unpolished patina. The stock is excellent with a couple of minor dings and sharp checkering. All of the markings and engraving are clear and crisp. The action is excellent. The case is fine. The lid has a crack in the leather which extends the width of the lid and some corner and edge wear. The lining is fine with some minor wear from the pistols having contact. The flask is excellent with most of the original lacquer finish remaining. The rest of the accessories are excellent.

As "A".

Excellent. The barrel retains almost all of the original brown copper striped finish. Nearly all of the original bright case colors remain on the lock, bolster, breech plug and hammer. The silver components have an even aged patina and strong bright blue finish remains on the trigger. The stock is excellent with a few minor dings, handling marks and sharp checkering; nearly all of the varnish remains. All markings and engraving are clear and crisp. The action is excellent. (The aforementioned is evenly matched in condition to the other in the pair). This is an outstanding matched pair of cased silver mounted/gold inlaid Derringer Percussion Pocket Pistols with accessories.
