Deringer Pistol Philidelphia USA 1850 - G1018

Derringer Pistol Philadelphia USA 1850 Ref: G1018 Description; A derringer is generally the smallest usable handgun of a given caliber. They have been used by women because they are easily concealable in a purse, or as a stocking gun. Derringers are not repeating firearms—repeating mechanism such as used on semiautomatic handguns or revolvers would add significant bulk to the gun, defeating the purpose. The original cartridge derringers held only a single round, usually a pin-fire or rim-fire cartridge, usually around a .40 caliber, and the barrel pivoted sideways on the frame to allow access to the breech for reloading. This is beautiful non-firing replica pistol with fully working mechanisms.
