Hammond bulldozer deringer
 

Hi, have somebody heared about this pistol before?
Probably anybody out there can tell me how to take apart?

I can't help with disassembly, but I appreciate the photo. I'm not familiar with this one, can you tell us anything about it?

Hammond Bull Dog Deringer.
.44 rimfire. Manufactured by "The Connecticut Arms Co." and patented in 1864. Pistol is in excellent overall condition, with super bore. Smooth metal retains 90% or more original blue finish. Markings are sharp; 40% case colors remain on receiver and breech block. Checkered wooden grips are excellent. The most powerful deringer of its day.

A regular " Dirty Harold" thumb buster. Neat pistol! I love these old pocket poopers.

That is a nice one! Smooth as a gun should be of this type.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info, a friend of mine is owning one of the very rare nickel plated ones. The circumstance it is not a very usual gun makes my hope going far away: to know one day how to take it apart! Just to see how the barrel is screwed into the frame would be interesting. I belive it is screwed in very tight probably (like a Luger barrel)?
