Description:

Manufactured between 1911 and 1915. Only about 1,400 of these derringers, also known as the "Parrot Beak", were manufactured. The sides of the frame and barrel have engraved zigzag borders with flourished floral scroll on the frame and on the barrel at the breech. Double action only operation with serrated folding trigger. Fitted with smooth mother of pearl grips with a Hopkins & Allen medallion on both panels. It comes in a small hardwood case fitted to the gun with sections for the included bore rod and vintage .22 short ammunition.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% of the original finish with a few small spots of brown patina on the sides of the barrel and some thinning from handling. The grips are very fine with mild aged patina on the medallions and some minor handling marks. The action is fine. The customcase and accessories are very good with minor storage wear.
