This
is a 1/4 scale Remington Model 1895 over/under .41 caliber rim fire derringer by an unknown maker. Looks to be solid
14K gold except for the springs with what looks to be bead blasted sterling silver grips. 1 3/16" long overall
with 11/16" barrels. The hammer cocks and falls when the trigger is pulled, but there is no firing pin. It's
possible this could have been made by Alex Baez or Hersch Kopp. Complete with a nice leatherette casing, French fit, with
cream silk lid lining and a brick red suede bottom lining. Mint condition. If anyone knows who made this piece,
I'd sure love to know! Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9 Price:

1895 .41 caliber over/under derringers made by the legendary gunsmith and gundealer Tommy Haas, Sr. 1 15/16" long
overall with a 1 1/8" barrel group. The barrels are rifled and show evidence of having been fired. Beautifully
engraved with about 50% coverage, gold plated frame, silver plated barrels. The hammer and trigger are case colored,
the barrel release lever and screws are fire blue, and the extractor is blued. Nice mother of pearl two piece grips

The bottom of the barrel marked 10, but I talked to Tommy about this before he passed and he said they stamped the 1 upside
down and is is supposed to be 01. I sold serial #02 about five years ago and this is it's twin brother. Beautiful

barrel is tapered octogonal and slightly swamped, and has a small blade foresight and is browned. The breechplug tang
is blued and scroll engraved, and the head of the tang screw is also engraved. The two ramrod pipes are barrel shaped
in blued steel and take a rosewood ramrod with a black horn tip. The trigger guard is steel, blued; the bow is

!!!!!Note, New Information!!!!! Turns out this is not a Larry Smith miniature
Remington Elliot single shot derringer after all. While discussing his Remington Elliott derringers with him a few days
ago for an upcoming MAS Journal article, Larry told me he did not make this miniature. It is in a Larry Smith case,
so marked on the bottom. I suspect a past owner may have accidentally or purposefully switched the cases. This
piece is marked under the right grip with the initials JD in a shield. If you have any further information on this piece,
I would love to hear from you. If you own Larry Smith Remington Elliot derringer serial # 22, I'd like to talk
to you too to see if we could possibly get this case situation resolved. 1 9/16" long overall with a 7/8"
long barrel. Nickel plated engraved frame, gold plated and engraved brass grips. Gold plated hammer and trigger. Hand
engraved two line barrel address. No serial number. Complete with a non-original Larry Smith walnut push
button latch, hinged top casing with a brass handled cleaning/ejector rod and 10 rounds of dummy ammunition.
The case interior lined in an olive green velour. The bottom of the case marked "-L.H.-, Smith, RE-22", in three lines which is the maker's name, I don't know what the R stands
for, the "E" is for engraved, and "22" is the serial number. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11 Price: $850.00 |
