.36 caliber. 2.25" barrel. NSN. Browned finish, color casehardened lock and hammer, German silver mountings, checkered walnut stock with bird's head grip. Single shot percussion muzzleloading pocket pistol with a rifled bore, rudimentary fixed notch rear sight, dovetailed German silver blade front sight and mountings suggesting production circa 1850-1870, nominally 5" in overall length. Engraved back action percussion lock marked DERINGER/PHILADELA with the same stamp applied to the top of the barrel flat at the breech. Breech with Deringer {SUNBURST-P} proof. Engraved German silver mountings, including a shield shaped thumb escutcheon, with a pineapple finial at the front of the triggerguard plate. A hinged cap box is present in butt of the pistol. A lovely little Deringer pistol that has a lot of finish but has suffered from poor storage and might be improved by a careful cleaning. {ANTIQUE}
