Produced between 1911 and 1915. Also known as the "Parrot Beak" deringer, less than 1400 are believed to have been made. Blade sight on barrel, with the "HOPKINS & ALLEN ARMS CO/ NORWICH, CONN. U.S.A." address on the left side. The sides of the barrel and frame are zig-zag bordered, with scrollwork on either side of the breech, in the lower rear corners and in the center areas of the frame. Striker-fired double action only operation, with serrated and casehardened folding trigger. Smooth mother of pearl grips with a bird's head butt and gold washed medallions. In a mahogany case with a round mother of pearl inlay in the lid, red felt lining with padding inside the lid, wood ramrod varnished to match the case, and fifteen rounds of 22 caliber ammunition, all marked "U" on the rear, in an integral cartridge block.
Excellent. Approximately 99% of the original nickel finish is visible on the barrel and frame, with a few light handling marks overall. The grips are excellent, with a few dark spots on the left panel. The custom case is fine, with a few minor exterior scuffs and one or two stains on the padding. Mechanically excellent.
