Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/2 scale Stevens GEM single shot side swing derringer made by John  Sutherland of Michigan.  2 1/4″ long overall with a 1 3/16″ barrel .125 caliber.  I’m pretty sure this takes the Tom Weston 3mm centerfire cartridges.  Nickel plated finish except for the hammer and trigger which are case hardened.  Two piece mother of pearl grips with a single screw entering from the left side.  The top of the barrel deeply marked “GEM”.  Checkered hammer spur.  Complete with the bottom half of the original Sutherland hinged top walnut casing.  The interior semi French fit and lined in a royal blue velour.  The case bottom with a wood block and five holes for cartridges, none of which are present.  There is a small brass plaque affixed to the wood block marked STEVENS, GEM in two lines.  The bottom of the case with a white paper sticker hand written in ink with the following:  “1/2 scale, STEVENS GEM, By JOHN SUTHERLAND, Stock No. 785” in four lines.  The pistol is in excellent near mint condition showing only the most minor signs of handling.  The case bottom is nice.  A one of a kind piece.  Stock # TJ-21.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
