Pair of cased Colt #2 41 caliber Derringers #7798 and #2830. The pistols show a gray lightly cloaked patina with some pitting and erosion. The address and engravings are slightly light. The grips are good. The actions lock up tight and hammers show most case colors. The pair seem to have been carried a great deal on the owner's person and curiously #7798 shows a hole drilled at rear of butt strap possibly for a wire frame stock. The casing is absolutely genuine to the 19th century and in good to very good condition. It is lined in red baize (felt) with some minor impressions, fraying and fading. Thirty .41 RF rounds included in bottom half of cardboard cartridge box. The exterior of this original case is near fine. In nearly 56 years of selling fine antiques "Little John" has seen only 4 original to the period #2 Colt Derringer cases that he would guarantee.
Condition is NRA Good
