Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! Not a Larry Smith miniature, but in a Larry Smith case with Larry Smith accessories
Turns out this is not a Larry Smith miniature Remington Elliot single shot derringer after all. While discussing his Remington Elliott derringers with him, Larry told me he did not make this miniature, although it is an absolute dead ringer for his work, down t the barrel address, checkering on the hammer spur, engraving, fit, & finish. 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. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
