UNKNOWN

#221 Here is an unmarked derringer that could have been made either in

Nashville or in Memphis according to the sheath trigger and the flat

butt. Bitterlick produced guns of this style and marked them but I do

not have one for my collection. Notice that this is made of curly maple

rather than like all the rest of walnut. The full octagon barrel has one

silver band at the breech. The tang is marked with “#1”. There is no way

to determine whether this gun was made in Nashville or Memphis. Its

caliber is .480.
