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.

colt_saaI 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

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

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