Philadelphia Derringer

The Philadelphia Derringer is a true icon in classic gun history for its small dimensions and role in self-defense. A similar pistol .44 cal was found in one of Ford Theater's boxes in Washington where President Abraham Lincoln was fatally injured by John Wilkes Booth. But we need to let this firearm remind us also of a forgotten hero that night and the lifelong impact of a single shot fired in the shadows. We will also meet the last survivor a five year old at the time who suffered permanent nightmares of the images and sounds of that night. We will look at the pistol the knife and the scene and maybe learn about the people overshadowed by a Nations grief and shock. Even scripture has a part in this story Mathew 19:12. Load: 15/30 grains black powder pyrodex .019 lubed patch .440 128gr. Hornady swaged round ball.
