Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I have a few questions about my High Standard 22 mag derringer. I purchased it in January 1983. I think it's a DM-101 Type III, however not sure. No model number was mentioned on the sales receipt or box. Serial Number: D52319 Catalog 9194 manufactured by ZHigh Standard, Inc., E Hartford CONN, USA. Questions are as follows: What exactly does the serial number tell me? Was this gun indeed manufactured in 1982? 2. My gun comes with a pearl handle. Is that different from those High Standard derringers that are described as having a "white" handle? 3. How do you clean this thing? And where do I add oil to it, if anywhere? If anyone can answer any one of the questions, that would be appreciated. See pics for gun. Thanks for looking and your help.

Your grips are aftermarket Jay Scott brand imitation pearl grips.
Oil guns wherever any part moves.
Clean it by running a brush/patch through the bores with some solvent or oil on them.
If you bought it in 1983, it was darned sure made some time before then!
