First listed in records as arms merchants in 1833, the firm of James N. Hyde and Charles W. Goodrich supplied cavalry sabers and pikes to the Confederate States, only stopping when the Union occupied New Orleans. Fixed sights, with "DERINGER/ PHILADEL'A" stamped on the barrel next to "MANUD FOR/HYDE & GOODRICH/AGENTS N. ORLEANS", with a pair of 18k gold bands on the breech. Derringer's address is repeated on the lock plate, with engraving on the lock, hammer, tang and the combination silver and German silver furniture. Full length, attractively tiger striped stock, with a brass headed ebony ramrod and a checkered bird's head grip with capbox.

Fine, with the original "bronzed" streaked pattern visible on the barrel, especially the sides, and a gray patina forming on the remainder. A mixed patina is visible on the casehardened parts, with traces of the original pattern. Stock is fine, with a barely noticable hairline crack running from the left breech to the underside of the lock. An attractive dark patina is present on the furniture. Mechanically very fine.
