CIVIL WAR STARR CARBINE, NICKEL-PLATED REMINGTON "DERRINGER"

Recently acquired from a local collector, these two antique firearms are in superb condition. Case hardening is very evident on the beautifully maintained Starr, while the nickel-plated derringer has ivory grips. There is no way to know whether or not the Starr was used locally during the War for Southern Independence. These two fine relics prove once again that Vicksburg is home to many advanced collectors of many different kinds of collectibles.
