Keep looking. I've seen more than one Philly lately.
One just sold for half that, it would appear.

The Gun Works have them for $205. I purchased one from them about a n
month ago. A nice little pistol for the $$.

In the '70s I sold those in a CVA kit for very little money. If I remember correctly, about $10.00 retail.

Wow in Store , Montgomery wards
In the 1980s they were like 150 bucks, but it was Arlington Va!

The best are the Pedersoli. Some of the Spanish 'copies' have horrible internal metal work. There's a Pedersoli kit for the Deringer, (one 'r') if your budget is that generous, check out Dixie Gun Works. BTW, Deringer's family plot is in Philadelphia's Laurel Hill historic cemetery on Ridge Avenue; many famous personages buried there, CW generals, ex-Confederates, etc.

Got these two for sale. $200 ea.

Now you got me wanting one, but wouldn't be happy with a 'cheapie', if I can find a Pedersoli at auction, maybe.
