19th C. USA Philadelphia Deringer Pocket Pistols (2): North America, United States, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, ca. mid to late 19th century CE. A handsome pair of percussion Philadelphia Deringer pocket sized pistols, both . 41 caliber single shots with nickel-brass and wooden stocks. These are both muzzleloaders; included is a brass tipped ramrod which is of the period and may have been used with these. They are not identical, but both feature a hexagonal barrel with rifling grooves. The barrel is engraved with scrolling foliate motifs that are repeated on almost every brass part and inlay on each gun. The barrels are stamped "DERINGER" next to the hammers. The wooden forestock is decorated with inlaid brass panels, and crosshatched lines are etched into the backstock. These pistols come in a vintage wooden case with a handwritten note from a former owner dated 1959, in which he states they were gifted to him by a brother in 1917. This brother claims they were used in a robbery hold-up in 1871. Size: 5. 75" L x 1" W (14. 6 cm x 2. 5 cm); bore: 0. 41" W (1 cm). . The Deringer is notoriously easy to conceal and was a popular and discreet gun for women to slip into a stocking or purse. The pocket pistol soon gained a shady reputation as the weapon of choice for gamblers and assassins. Often there were no sights on the barrel because they were intended for such short range, such as across a poker table. A Philadelphia Deringer was the gun used by John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. This tragic event only added to the infamy to this type of pistol and even increased sales, with many competitors manufacturing their own versions of the Deringer, often using the misspelling of "Derringer.

TWO HANDGUNS ALLEGEDLY BELONGING TO JESSE JAMES. Documentation accompanying these handguns was compiled by consignor and is capsulized as follows: During the 1850's, one of the James' family neighbors was David M. Bivens whose son David, joined the Confederate Army with Frank James and was killed at Franklin, TN on November 30 1864. Sometime shortly after that, Frank and Jesse began riding and raiding with William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson. During one of their rides through Missouri and particularly Clay county, Jesse and Frank's home area, they stopped for breakfast at the Bevins farm. Finding the family women alone and without firearms for defense Jesse allegedly gave the women these two handguns; a Colt m1851 Navy revolver, Cal 36, SN 134725 and a Sharps Model 1, 4-bbl Derringer, cal. 22 short, SN 4623. These handguns were on display in the Bevins home in Kearney, MO for about 109 years, until about 1968 when they became the subject of a legal dispute regarding their possession. Apparently, they had been loaned to Kenneth P. McLanahan of Prarie Village, KS and when they became part of an estate, Mr. McLanahan apparently had refused to return them, but equally apparent they were eventually returned to David M. Bevins. In a 1962 dated accompanying notarized statement, Mr. Bevins states most of the above providential information and on bottom is a hand-written note stating "the fire arms described above was so (sic) by Loraine Bevins widow of David M. Bevins to Jim Zimmerman Sept 23, 1973" and bears her signature. Consignor states that he inherited these handguns in 1973 from his father, the late J. E. Zimmerman. There is a large packet of accompanying information regarding the Bevins family including another notarized statement from Mrs. David M. Bevins dated February 10, 1975, certifying most of the above information. Also included is a copy of the April 1975, The Electric Farmer, Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative, Platte City, MO magazine containing an article regarding the Bevins home being opened for tours after the program for the Jesse and Frank James Days at Kearney. Also included is a copy of, Keepsakes of Our Past, Volume IV by the Sun Chronicle's newspapers dated September 8, 1993. It contains an article regarding the orig David M. Bevins who settled in the Missouri area in the 1820's. The article relates the story of how Mrs. Huldah Bevins (the wife of Mr. Bevins) was home alone with two daughters when the James boys came by and left the handguns with them. The article states, "Later, Huldah and David's grandson, David had the pistols framed with the dates they had received them". There is an article from a newspaper dated, April 4, 1984, relating the same story. Also, there is a letter from an attorney to Mr. McLanahan requesting return of the two handguns. CONDITION: Colt is in fair to good condition. All matching including wedge. It has no finish remaining, being a dark, smooth brown patina overall with nicks and dings and vice marks on side flats of bbl with scattered light pitting. Wedge spring is broken and hammer screw appears to be a replacement. Wedge screw is missing and rammer screw is replaced by a rivet. Hammer will not hold at full cock but indexes well. Grip frame retains traces of orig silver. Grip is sound with chipped toes and retains traces of orig varnish. Strong dark pitted bore. Sharps is a brown patina on iron with a medium mustard patina on brass. Left grip is missing and right grip is a homemade replacement. Mechanics are fine. Worn dark bores. 4-57973 (10,000-30,000)
