.42 Caliber. 2.25" barrel length. SN: NSN. Blued finish to barrel with browned lockplate and hammer, German Silver fittings, and set in a walnut stock with checkered wrist and butt. Single-shot back action lock percussion pistol with rifled barrel featuring rear notch and brass bead sights. Top of the breechblock is engraved DERINGER, but the absence of any markings on the lockplate indicates it was not made by Henry Deringer, and that the signature is therefore spurious. No further markings visible.

Triggerguard displays further spiral scroll with wheat scroll flowing forward along the forend. German Silver escutcheon to the wrist is unsigned.
