Description
Superb condition.
No. 1 .41 Caliber Rimfire Derringer with Barrel Marking "Moores Pat. F. A. Co. Brooklyn N. Y." This is the scarce variant with "D. Moore Patent Feb. 24, 1863" on the underside of the barrel, and arrows engraved at each side. Serial #777, brass frame, 2.5" barrel. The gun retains 95% of the original silver finish, untouched/uncleaned. Excellent bore. Although the release mechanism is present, the actual release button is missing, easily replaced, otherwise mechanically perfect. A really choice example of this scarce and desirable little gun. The first of the metallic cartridge "big bore" derringers.Auction Info
