HENRY
DERINGER |






A gorgeous little Henry Deringer "Peanut", agent marked N. CURRY & BRo, SAN FRANCISCO, CALa. which has one single pit that happens to be in the edge of the agent marking. The .41 caliber barrel measures approximately 2 1/8 inches and the gun overall is just under 5 inches. It is untouched and very handsome. The lock and breech are sharply marked Deringer, Philadela with the "P" proof in Sunburst. The barrel is marked N. CURRY & BRo, SAN FRANCISCO, CALa, AGENTS. Even though there is a small pit distorting the word Curry, it is fully legible. The trigger guard, barrel key escutcheons, lock screw escutcheon and shield at the rear of the tang are all of Sterling/Coin silver. The breech has two silver bands, which have oxidized black. That means they too are of silver, not German silver. The gun has a deluxe butt insert with cap holder. The stock retains most of the original varnish. A really handsome little gun which is really set off by the silver mountings. SOLD!!
