This pair of pistols are an attractive example of the reach and popularity of Henry Deringers Philadelphia style pocket pistols. These specific pistols appear to have been made in Europe, likely Britain, as each has a British "crossed scepter" proof on the bottom of the barrel along with the marking "H&", but the specific manufacturer is unknown. They mirror Deringer's designs closely, even bearing the markings "DERINGER/PHILADEL'A" on both the lock plates and breeches. The barrels are true Damascus steel rather than having imitation patterns like true Deringers and have bead front sights and notch sights on the upper tangs. The tangs, locks, breeches, and trigger guards all have nicely executed floral scroll engraving. Ebony ramrods are fitted below the barrels. The walnut stocks have bag shaped checkered grips and the remaining furniture is of German silver.
