B) Deringer Pocket Pistol - NSN, 41 cal., 1 7/8 inch flat top round bbl., faux Damascus/casehardened/silver finish, walnut stock. See “A.”
CONDITION: Extremely fine. The barrel retains 95% plus of the original brown finish and even displays much of the original copper streaking, particularly on the left side at the muzzle. The gold bands remain bright, and the silver furniture has attractive aged patina. The engraving throughout remains crisp. 60% of the original case colors remain visible on the lock; otherwise, there is mostly smoky gray patina on the casehardened components. There is some minor oxidation concentrated around the nipple. The stock is excellent and has crisp checkering, nearly all of the original finish, and light handling and storage marks. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection.
Estimate: 30,000 - 45,000
