#273 Same description as #276 with the exception that this stock is a little smaller and the grip is slightly different in shape. In general, a more slender gun. A high quality gun with double silver banded breech and the same marking on the barrel. Made without ramrod and with a tear drop for a butt cap. German silver mounted. Caliber is .410.
Apparently one hand stamp was used to mark the four lines on the barrel as follows:

#229 Now, this gun is a little bit different from a genuine Henry Deringer in that this one was produced by the F. H. Clark Company in Memphis. Notice the extra stubby bird head grip. German silver mounted throughout even to the ramrod thimble. Notice that there is no screw holding the barrel to the forearm and is held in place with the wedge only. Very coarse checkering. The caliber is .420.
Marked on the breechblock on the top barrel flat:
F. H. Clark & Co.
Memphis
