Sharps 4-barrel derringer in .22 caliber rimfire. Serial #2522 matching. The markings on the right side of the frame being marked in a circular pattern "C.SHARPS & Co / PHILADA. PA.", while the left side is marked "C SHARPS / PATENT 1859" (slight wear). Production of these began in 1859 just before the Civil War and many soldiers purchased one to carry during the war. The fluted barrels on this example are an aged smooth grey patina. The brass overall is untouched with traces of original silver remaining. Excellent 2-piece wooden grips with original varnish showing no cracks or chips. The mechanics are excellent, complete with rotating firing pin, often missing. This is an untouched, fine condition overall of a classic desirable American derringer.
