1859 Sharps derringer
Hello Friends,
I hope you are all well today. This interesting little derringer has been in my family for along time, and i have always enjoyed
looking at it. I thought you might like seeing this, so i decided to post some photos. The caliber is .22 rimfire. As always
I look forward to your input.
Have a good day!

Very nice-looking pistol(s). How far back can you trace the derringer to your family?
One pull four shot ?? G
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
60-65 years, I guess that's not too long when considering its age. Glad you like them!
Take care,
Mart
Hello G,
No, one at a time. As the hammer is pulled back a rotating firing pin rotates to the next barrel to be fired.

It is a "Unique" item and well preserved IMO... Thanks for posting !!G

Neat little pistol!...
You know, i was a little apprehensive about posting this because it has no military ties. But I am glad I did, and I am also glad you like.
Thanks,

A great little pistol. Looks to be in excellent condition.
Nice thing is that .22RF ammo is very common
and cheap.........!
Regards,
Steve.
I wouldn't mind one of those myself. When I'd say "Get in the ******* van!!" they'd know I was serious.
