Description:

This Colt Number 3 Thuer Derringer has a German silver half moon front sight, "-COLT-" in italics marked on top of the barrel, "41 CAL" marked on the left side of the frame, and the serial number is stamped under the left grip and hand written on the panels. It has a nickel plated finish, checkered hammer, smooth trigger, and smooth varnished walnut grips hand numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% plus of the original nickel plating with light scratches and slight pitting. The finish has faded to a dark gray patina on the hammer, small screws, and trigger, but nearly all of the niter blue remains on the barrel screw. The original grips are very fine with some slight edge wear. The action is excellent, and the markings are clear.
