Round rifled steel barrel with top flat and patent breech marked "DERINGER/PHILADELA/PA" and inlaid with two German silver bands at breech. Back action percussion lock engraved with scrolls and stamped "DERINGER/PHILADELA". Walnut stock of familiar form with checkered panels around grip and engraved German silver furniture. Replaced wooden ramrod. Good condition; steel components retain a spotted grey patina with scattered marks from use and wear. Stock shows some wear to checkering and scattered marks. Furniture is unpolished and shows a few dark spots. This is an excellent example of an untouched Philadelphia Deringer.
