1875 - 1912 American Colt No.3 Factory Nickel Plated Brass Frame Single Shot .41 Rim Fire Obsolete Calibre Derringer With Pivot Barrel. Sn 21408 - 21408

An excellent original .41 Cal Rim Fire, Colt No.3 derringer. Production ran from 1875 through until 1912. The serial numbers are often stamped beneath the grips, and are not visible unless the grips are removed (to avoid risk of damage we have not removed the grips). Our example has its original factory nickel plated brass frame with a sheathed trigger. All of its original factory nickel plate finish is present. Its 2 ½” barrel pivots to the right for loading (the hammer must be at half cock and a small lug on the barrel block depressed to pivot the barrel). The pistol is 5” overall length. The barrel has a German Silver blade fore sight. It’s rifled bore has staining and residue consistent with age and use. The top of the barrel is signed by the manufacturer ‘Colt’. The brass frame has 41 Cal (calibre detail). It has its original American walnut grips which are in excellent condition and secured with a single recessed screw bolt. Its loading and firing actions work crisply. The price includes UK delivery. NB as an obsolete calibre rim fire derringer no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display. Sn 21408
