Mine is not so pretty,however I shoot it all the time .I use a .45 ball, 1/4 patch, and 60 grains smokeless powder. It's very accurate out to around 75 foot. And can drive nails at 50 foot.

She also has the "Deluxe Shooter's Kit" with the boxed pistol. This is not a kit, it's all together. Serial number is 008890. Anyone got an idea of the worth of this pistol and shooter's kit?

Are you offering it up? I would be glad to build and fire. I received one as a gift around 1980 from my late father and after moving a dozen times with the Navy, I have lost it. So I am looking for one to build. Thanks. Scott Steve – Do you still have this. Are you offering it up? I would be glad to build and fire.

I was 19 years old when I purchased it in 1978. I still have it, but the blast cap hole is clogged. You've motivated me to take it apart and refurbish it. My dad's derringer is still in perfect condition because he is very meticulous about his collections. My father and I have the same derringer – he built his first and then I built mine shortly after.
