Can anyone offer information on this Hy Hunter Derringer? It is marked made in Spain. Has 1858-Spain engraved very largely on top of barrel. Any help as to history, value, etc. would be appreciated. The gun was purchased from an estate sale and the attached image was taken by the collector.

  In the 1950's & 1960s Hy Hunter imported a poor quality over & under derringer from Germany called the Great Western. They also imported western-style revolvers. They did not import the gun shown.
  
  I believe this is a Hindu Kush type gun from Afganistan or some other 3rd world country made for the tourist trade, probably within the last 50 years. Value is probably zero.

  Your Derringer is a poor Copy of the Philadelphia Derringer..If Memory serves Dixie Gunworks sold a Kit Gun for under $30.00 back in the 1950's..and are still seen often at Gunshows...
