There is a little more work in it than necessary.
The sidebreak looks like Colt Derringer.
Styling looks European.
Value is what traffic will bear.
The first patent for a lateral turning barrel carbine dates to the 1860's. The most famous handgun associated with the Hammond's was the Grant Hammond semi-auto pistol made by Harrington & Richardson during the W W I era.
The silhouette, i.e. sideview of the single shot pistol in the auction has a remarkable resemblance to the sideview of the Grant Hammond Automatic Pistol shown on page 424 of Flayderman.
Think he means "Bakelite"?
I can think of quite a few better ways to appropriate $5k.[:o)]
Save the seals-club a liberal instead.
Why that's a Jesse James proto type, he may have kept that in his boot
{Get it all the claims of Jesse's gun}
I probably would have tossed that long time ago, bakelite is not old enough to make it an 1860's gun , while parts do resemble other firearms I think it is a homemade job not worth the listing fee
Wonder if it's not an H&R, they seemed to copy alot of Smith & Wesson's stuff.
Doing a little digging, there are loads of side opening / loading 22 deringers out there. Wonder if there is anything written under the grips. Also it's possible he came accross some gunsmith in training's gun.
