Sounds like something Booth would give to Spangler to help him in his escape.

[Wesley Harris]

This is one of numerous pistols attributed to Booth. Those of you who attended last year's conference may remember that I related accounts of a second Deringer pistol being found:
--on the stage
--behind the stage
--in a water barrel
--in the alley
--down the street
--on Booth's body

Booth was better armed than the Army of the Potomac.

The pistol in nomann's post is now the property of Ripley's Believe It or Not. Last time I checked, it was on display in their New York City museum.
