information about the STAR is somewhat sketchy. the information i posted is old company information and has never been verfied. the one catalog i have that shows the star (ENTERPRIZE GUN WORKS no date) shows a nickel pated frame and blue barrel. as with most of iver johnson's firearms i doubt they only made a 1000 of any of them. they were one of the original mass producers. i would not be surprised to find the STAR just another name this derringer was sold under. the Enterprize catalog list them for the same price as the Eclipse ($3.00).

i believe now is as good a time as any to admend the blue book and state the STAR is just another brand name.
