Brown Mfg. Co. Southerner Single Shot Deringer
serial #1301, 41 RF, 2 1/2'' octagon barrel with a bright near excellent bore. The barrel of this fine pistol retains about 70% nice original bright blue showing some sparse pinprick pits and flaking to a mild gray-brown patina. The maker markings on the left side and prominent ''SOUTHERNER'' on top remain crisp and the rear edges of the barrel are excellent showing absolutely no hammer nose dings that are usually so common on this model. The frame retains some wisps of lovely vibrant case-hardened colors in the protected areas with overall toning to a lovely smoky case-hardened patina and showing a little minor oxidation speckling. The hammer shows vibrant colors throughout while the screw heads retain nice fire blue. The smooth rosewood grips are near excellent showing somewhat worn finish and light handling marks. The barrel locks up solidly and the hammer is crisp. This is a very nice Southerner deringer, seldom seen with any condition. (13B11777-24) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
