SCARCE NATIONAL ARMS CO. NO. 2 DERINGER

This is a factory engraved National Arms Co. Single Shot No.2 Deringer.  National Arms Co. produced these from 1865-1870.  In 1870 they were purchased by Colt who continued to make their own versions of this firearm. This is a .41 rimfire with a 2-1/2” twist barrel on a brass frame with a spur trigger.  The barrel address is faint but still visible.  The walnut grips show a fair bit of wear and have a crack in the left side.  Mechanically the hammer spring is strong and still seems to function.  This is a good to very good condition item that would display beautifully in any collection.
