Title: Mystery rifle a deringer?
Post by: Opentop44 on September 28, 2008, 12:26:28 AM

Howdy boys,
I am new to this site. I have had in the family, a halfstock .35 rifle. It is walnut stocked, brass trimmed, dbl set triggers, and marked "Deringer Philadel" on the top flat and same on the lock. Looks like a scaled down Hawkin, sort of like a "ohio" rifle.
Anyone seen something like this before? When would it have been made??

Andy

Ol' Henry made a lot of rifles.  I've seen some halfstocks from him too.  Please show us pictures.
