Fine Connecticut Arms Hammond Bulldog Deringer
serial #3485, 41 RF, 4'' octagon barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a few small areas of light oxidation, mostly nearer the muzzle and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. The barrel retains about 90% original bright blue showing a few small pinprick pits and some areas flaking to gray-brown patina. The breechblock and frame retain about 94% fine vibrant case-hardened colors showing a little sparse oxidation speckling and high edges toning to a pleasant silvery gray case-hardened patina. The sides of the trigger show pale straw color, many of the screw heads retain fine fire blue and all markings are crisp. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in near excellent condition showing some scattered tiny dings and light handling marks. A lovely example of these interest and robust deringer pistols for the antique arms collector. (13B11777-37) {ANTIQUE} (1800/2200)
