Cal. .44. S# NSN. (See above double rifle description for info on John Krider.) The 3-3/4" octagon to ovate rifled barrel is stamped 'PHILADA" on top flat. The number "?594" appears to have been recently stamped on right flat. Well filed breech plug with integral rear sight and top tang is scroll engraved. Back spring lock with small flat faced percussion hammer and scroll engraving is stamped "KRIDER". American walnut stock shows Deringer styling with flash plate under lock and breech plug, trigger guard with small foliate finial, tear shaped grip cap, sideplate with flourish and ovate device at top of grip are made of German silver. Stock has checkered bag grip and shell carved schnabled tip without provision for ramrod. Stock mounts to barrel with sidebolt through oval German silver escutcheons. CONDITION: very good to fine. Iron parts lightly cleaned to gray brown and varnished. German silver cleaned to bright. Stock retains most of its original finish with many small marks and dings. Bore is very good with some light pitting. Mechanically good. A rare pistol obviously made to compete with Krider's neighbor the celebrated Henry Deringer.(01-26491/MGM). ANTIQUE. $2,500-3,000.
