V. CHR. SCHILLING, Suhl, gold inlaid on side plate made "peanut-size" derringer, cal. .32 percussion,
2 ½" hexagonal barrel on top with gold inlaid inscription    JOSE MARIA RODALLEGAS. The lock with side plate, hammer and trigger guard nicely engraved, the stock carved and with silver tacks decorated, the lock with "faux lock" to make it appear like it fires two shots. For this tiny derringer certainly uncommon set triggers. Without doubt one of the very best made and most decorative derringers!
Støckel: Valentin Christoph Schilling, Suhl, Prussia, later known as maker of the Reichsrevolver. I have no information about Rodallegas.
Extremely decorative Lady's "peanut size" derringer    $4,000.
