Bellmore Johnson Tool Co. (BTJ) DA Double-Barrel Derringer Pistol, .38 Special, with Box, Manual, and Holster

A Bellmore Johnson Tool Co. (BTJ) DA Double-Barrel Derringer Pistol, chambered in .38 Special. This compact, modern-style pistol, likely from the late 20th century, features a brushed silver-toned metal finish, possibly stainless steel, with dark, checkered wooden grip panels. Visible markings include “.38 SP. CAL.”, “DA” as the model, and “BTJ HAMDEN, CT. U.S.A.”, along with the serial number “005320”. A small red indicator is present near the safety mechanism. The pistol is accompanied by its original manufacturer’s box, an “OWNERS MANUAL” confirming “THE DA by BJT”, and a distressed brown leather holster. Research indicates this model was manufactured by BTJ, with some examples noted as a 1985 production, and features approximately 3-inch barrels.
