Historical Background

The Philadelphia Derringer was a muzzle-loading pocket pistol designed by Henry Deringer and manufactured between 1852 and 1868. This single-shot pistol with percussion-ignition system was used at very short distances and was often sold in pairs to compensate for its limited power and reliability.

Popular Among Military and Civilians

The Derringer quickly became popular, first among military officers and then among civilians who wanted a small and easily concealed pistol for self-defense. It also gained the infamous reputation of being a favorite among assassins and poker players.

Lincoln's Fate

In 1865, John Wilkes Booth used a Derringer to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, making the pistol a dark part of American history.
