HI everyone. Long time reader, first time poster,
I finally took a harder look at a non-functioning 5 shot derringer that has been in the family for years. To my knowledge it has never functioned and has been a wall-hanger in my father's gun cabinet for the last 45+ years. I tore it apart last night on the assumption that the problem had to be a broken mainspring. {This turned out to be correct}
I've looked all over the piece and can't find any marks or stamps on it. Would anyone have an idea what this little beastie might be?
Thanks for any help
