Authentic Derringer Philadelphia - Need To ID & Authenticate Please

[ZirconJohn]

So... I got this Email see... and in the Email the lady says her mother has this
Derringer in her possession, and that if they can authenticate it's true
value... then her mother may be willing to sell.

Now... I know the routine, I offer 20$ too

But... I'm just trying to help a lady out... honest Abe style.

So here are the PICs the daughter sent me...

What say you oh great firearms community...?

Can we authenticate...?

It's an authentic Spanish made reproduction gun that was sold by Connecticut Valley Arms, and is currently sold by Dixie Gun Works as the Deer Creek Philadelphia Derringer kit. ( http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product...roducts_id=872 ) In the condition shown, it's probably worth about $25.00 if that. (FWIW Henry Deringer, who created the type, spelled his name with one "r". All the copy-cats used two to avoid being sued.)

I thought it looked like a kit gun

Yup... that's a kit gun.

Thanks fella's... really appreciate the help.

That gun looks NOTHING like the originals I [now] found on-line.

Emailed the nice lady who Emailed me, and I aint heard back from her... yet.
