Lot #1045:
(A) DERINGER FAMILY PHILADELPHIA TIP UP .22 RF REVOLVER
Produced by Henry's family after his death in 1868. These were offered from 1873 through 1879 and strongly resemble the S&W Old 1 1/2 or the Marlin 1873. Features the blued octagon barrel with rib, fluted 7-shot cylinder, nickel plated frame, spur trigger, and bird's head grips. The Deringer legend is atop the barrel rib. CONDITION: Excellent. Barrel retains at least 90% bright blue while the frame retains a majority of the nickel finish. Mechanically sound with a bright bore. This is an extremely fine example.
