Derringer (muzzle loading)

The smallest pistol which I made. 29 years ago. Caliber 6 mm. Fully functional. Brass and mahogany. Didn't have other wood at the time.

Small it may be but it has a quite menacing presence, nicely made as usual and you have kept it well over the years.

Pictures were taken long time ago. Actually these are scans as digital cameras didn't exist back then. I put it inside scanner couple of years later. it's not in the same condition nowadays. But it's still fully functional.

Very nice. I have seen a similar one that was 2 shot side by side with Cherry wood for the stock
A friend of mine gave me 5 lbs of .30 lead balls he said I bet you can find some use for this.
I told him that one day I would make a muzzle loader for the balls, just another of those to do things
