Not only a museum quality replica, this Derringer is also a Cap Gun!
The Baby Philadelphia Derringer measures only 6.5" and is similar to the piece that John Wilkes Booth used to assasinate President Lincoln in Ford's Theater in 1865. It was a favorite hideaway percussion pistol of gamblers and card sharks, easily concealed in a coat or boot for use if the game turned sour.

Quality and Affordable Prop
I bought this to use as a prop in a theatrical play. For how small it is, the weight settles well in the hand for easy manipulation. The hammer has a double-click action, both of which are equally lound and satisfying. When held correctly, I noticed the hammer is just far enough forward of the grip that actors with smaller hands will have to either shift their grip or use their off-hand to reach the hammer. Not a design issue, just something to be aware of.
