!!!!!SOLD!!!!! Gilbert Ball 1/2 Scale Ivory Stocked Philadelphia Henry “Peanut” Derringer With Silver Furniture !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/2 scale Philadelphia Henry Derringer made by Gilbert Ball of France.  3 1/8″ long overall with a 1 3/16″ smoothbore octagon barrel.  This is a 1/2 scale miniature of one of the smallest of the Henry Derringers, commonly called the “Peanut”.  I guess you could also call it a 1/3 scale miniature of one of his larger Derringers.  The steel parts have a beautiful highly polished nitre blue finish.  Sterling silver furniture.  The ivory stock is just starting to show a really nice aged patina with a very obvious grain pattern.  There are several hairline age cracks in the ivory stock which is a normal occurrence.  The hammer has both half and full cock with a crisp action.  The silver parts are really pristine with very little tarnish.  The Steel blued parts show about 80% of the original nitre blue finish, the balance turning a plum color, & mostly on the barrel.  Complete with a nice burl walnut hinged top case.  The interior bottom French fit & lined in a blue/green felt.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
