Civil War Philadelphia Derringer Cap Firing Replica - Brass Finish

This Philadelphia Derringer Replica is not just a museum-quality reproduction—it also functions as a cap gun, firing standard “pull-off” ring or strip caps (not included). Measuring only 6.5 inches, it mirrors the compact and easily concealed design of the original Derringers carried by 19th-century gamblers, card players, and notorious figures. Most famously, a similar Derringer was used by John Wilkes Booth in 1865 to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theater, making this replica an iconic reminder of one of the most pivotal moments in American history.

The Philadelphia Derringer, designed by Henry Deringer, was a small percussion pistol that became immensely popular in the mid-1800s. Favored for its concealable size and reliability, it quickly became a weapon of choice for gamblers, travelers, and those who wanted protection without carrying a large firearm. The weapon’s infamy grew after Booth’s assassination of President Lincoln, forever cementing its place in American history.
