Bill, it's probably from spending days on end with 2nd graders, but that typo really made me laugh.

Regarding your question, yes the derringer was damaged. This picture shows the damage near the barrel:


Wes will know better the history of the weapon and how the damage could have occurred, but as you say, anything's poosible.
