NSN.

Rare & unique Texas made, Civil War era “TEXAS” marked derringer, a recent discovery found in Oklahoma. This gun measures 5 1/2″ overall w/ 1 5/8″ bbl., 2 3/8″ including breech. This unique example is a patent infringement of Henry Derringer, German silver mounted, scroll engraved. Engraving includes a Southwest flavor w/ cross hatching on flats of trigger guard finial & a radiating fluted hammer screw. Doug Eberhart in his text “The Derringer in America” shows nothing else like this & a recent letter from Doug Eberhart states his opinion that it was made in Texas by an unknown maker.
