Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available: This very pistol was featured and fired successfully for an episode of History Channel's Pawn Stars in 2022. Watch the episode below:
Serial #10774, .22 RF, 2 1/8 inch part round, part octagon barrel with a good plus bore showing very light pitting. The serial number is clearly marked on the frame under the grips, and on the bottom of the barrel, with shortened number 774 on the inside of BOTH grip scales. We see no evidence that any parts are not original to the pistol, making this a great "ALL MATCHING" original example.
This is the Vest Pocket Derringer manufactured by the Ethan Allen Company in Worcester, MA. The gun measures 3 7/8 inches long and was advertised as being the smallest and lightest pistol on the market at the time. The barrel pivots to the right for loading and was not made with an extractor. This specimen is nickel plated with approximately 70% remaining. Minor handling marks and some specks of fine oxidation staining, mostly along the left and back side of the hammer. The top barrel flat retains a very nice crisp E. ALLEN & Co. MAKERS. stamp. The slab-sided walnut grips remain in very fine condition showing some light handling marks. The action functions well mechanically. The barrel and frame have matching numbers. A rare find in any condition this will make a wonderful addition to any collection.
