  I received a derringer when my uncle died. It is a 357 magnum. It has Maverick across the top of the barrel, wooden handles and the serial number is 522. It is shown on top of the barrel and right in front of the left handle. It says Intercontinental Arms on the left side of the barrel, and A. Uberti & C. Gardone V.T. Italy on the right side of the barrel. Below the serial number on the side of the gun it also has XIX and what appears to be PSF under a symbol I cannot make out. I have shot it several times and it shoots great. Any idea what it is worth? Everything seems to be in very good shape and the wooden handles are intact. Thanks.

  This gun was made briefly by the originators BTJ. It was later made for a while by American Derringer. It looked like a good design, but I never saw any feedback on it until now.

  I have one at auction here. It was made one year -- in two calibers. "BJT" was subsidiary of, and brand name for, Bellmore-Johnson Tool Company. They are still in business, but at a different location.
  
  What else do you need to know? It might be in the blurb for my auction.
