A Rich History
American Pride.
Henry Deringer was one of America's earliest gunsmiths who designed The Philadelphia Deringer, a popular concealed carry percussion handgun of the era. Because of their small size and easy availability, Deringers sometimes had the dubious reputation of being a popular assassin tool. John Wilkes Booth fired the most famous Deringer in President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. With this bottle, you get your own replica as a keepsake of American craftsmanship.
