I know this is old and not a Sig. But would any of our members be up on the Henry Deringer peanut size pistols?

Thanks.

I have this nice book in the bookcase



When you open the book you see



A sequential pair of Henry Derringers with the tools, powder flask and bullet mold.

these have beautiful fit and finish including the great wood, gold wedding bands on the barrels, color case hardened side plate and engraving.





R. L. Wilson wrote the included loading and firing instructions.

Unfortunately I do not know much about the historical significance of the pistol aside from it's tragic misuse in the Ford Theater

Mine looks like that but not in that shape. That looks new.

It is relatively modern production and these are unfired as far as I know.

These were a re-issue. I do not know what year

Here is the instructions

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this what John Wilkes Booth used?

That is exactly why I referred to "it's tragic misuse in the Ford Theater"
