"DERINGER/PHILADELa" Marked Philadelphia Percussion Pistol

Marked as a Deringer pistol, but with features seen on Slotter & Company pistols. Brass blade front and notch rear sight, with "DERINGER/PHILADELa" and a "P" flanked by zig zags on the breech. The Deringer mark is repeated on the lock plate, with light scroll engraving on the tang and lock, with a wavy pattern on the bolster. Checkered flat-bottomed bird's head stock with scroll and zig-zag engraved furniture and an inscription shield on top of the wrist.

ConditionGood. The steel components show a mixed gray patina, with scattered handling marks and a small amount of pitting concentrated at the muzzle and nipple. The hammer and hammer screw may be replacements. The period revarnished stock is fair, with cracks at the tip and wrist, a replaced right escutcheon, dents, and evidence of cleaning. Mechanically very good.
