(B) Hopkins & Allen single shot derringer blank pistol. Made circa 1870s. No markings, minus the serial number, which is matching on the interior of the grips. Round barrel with no sights. Iron frame, with once silver finish. Oiled walnut grips. CONDITION: Metal retains little of its finish, with most of the original finish lost. Grips have minor scratches. Bore is heavily frosted. Seems to be mechanically fine. JWA
