Historical Background and Design

The Derringer Philadelphia was a muzzle-loading pocket pistol, designed by Henry Deringer and produced from 1852 to 1868. This single-shot percussion pistol was known for its simple yet effective design, intended for very short distances. Due to its size and discreet form factor, they were often sold in pairs, a practice that aimed to compensate for the limited power and occasional unreliability of single short-barreled guns. Its wide availability made it popular not only among military officers but also among civilians seeking a small, easily concealable firearm. It has held a near-mythical status throughout history, often associated with historical events and figures who shaped their times, such as poker players and other characters from the Wild West era.

An Iconic Pistol in History

This specific replica captures the essence of a pistol that played a role in one of the most transformative events in US history. In April 1865, during a performance at Ford’s Theatre, a Derringer pistol was used in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
