The gun is a smaller sized derringer pistol, of .41 caliber, with a nicely checkered stock,, engraved lock, trigger guard and at the breech, and German silver mounts. This gun is illustrated in Mr. Shelton’s book on California Gunsmiths. Dimensions: 6 inches long overall, with a 2.5 inch barrel. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $25.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
Condition:
There are minor signs of use on the stock, and minor pitting at the muzzle. The mainspring is a little weak, but still functions.
