Extremely Fine and Desirable Engraved Henry Deringer Percussion Pocket Pistol

This classic example of a Henry Deringer pocket sized pistol and features the seven-groove rifling, the brown and copper vein "false Damascus" finish on the barrel, separate breech with silver bands and "DERINGER/PHILADELA" and a sunburst "P" markings, and the "DERINGER/PHILADELA" marking on the lock. The lock, upper tang, and German silver furniture have primarily scroll and floral pattern engraving. The bird's head stock has checkering on the wrist and a small cap compartment on the butt.

ConditionExtremely fine with 90% plus of the brown twist finish on the barrel some fading of the copper, dark patterns of original case colors, light aged patina on the German silver, crisp markings and engraving, distinct checkering, an overcoat of original protective varnish remaining, and some scattered minor dings and scratches. Mechanically fine. A wonderful and true piece of Americana that would prove difficult to improve upon.
