  Deringer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Philadelphia Deringer is a small percussion handgun designed by Henry Deringer (1786-1868) and produced from 1852 through 1968.

Although the Deringer pistol was somewhat limited by its single-shot capacity, its light weight and small size gave it a distinct advantage over bulkier, unconcealable alternatives, and the limitations of its firing capacity could be circumvented by carrying two pistols, which were sold as pairs for approximately $22 to $25 during that time period.
The Deringer pistol's ubiquity, success, and infamy as a deadly weapon is apparent in its association with a number of prominent California murders that took place during the 1850s, as well as its later use in the assassination of President Lincoln.
Because the age and historical value of the Deringer pistol precluded test firing to obtain rifled bullet samples, the interior of the barrel, breech plug, and flash port of the firearm were cast with Mikrosil, a dental material used to reproduce three-dimensional impressions.
