serial #1038, 41 RF, 2 1/2” barrel with a partially bright very good bore showing some scattered light oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this very fine deringer retain about 97% original heavy silver finish showing some very fine flaking and subtle edge wear, subtle bubbling in a few areas and other light handling marks. The hammer shows some smoky case-hardening and the barrel markings are rather light under the silver, remaining partially legible. The factory embellishments are otherwise very crisp and strong featuring attractive wide flowing foliate scrollwork, punch-dot background shading, checkered shield on grip, arrows on sides of barrel and a small blossom at the top frame flat. The barrel locks up well and the hammer is crisp. An excellent little Moore for the antique arms collector. (13B11777-34) {ANTIQUE} (1500/2000)
