Prod. Code: FR676

Sharps 4-barrel derringer in .30 caliber rimfire. Serial #4904 matching. The markings on the right side of the frame being marked in a circular pattern "C.SHARPS & Co / PHILADA. PA." (somewhat worn), while the left side is marked "C SHARPS / PATENT 1859". 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. 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.
