This is one of those things that just because it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it still may not be a duck. Yes it does look like an Eclipse but this style of small derringer was copied by several manufactures, for example both Shattuck and Pointer made derringers that are almost identical to the Johnson and Bye gun, and who knows how many others also made a similar derringers, even
Bill Goforth, in his excellent book on Iver's stated that is difficult to ID the different derringers of this type. Every thing I've found, the Eclipse did use a screw for the barrel pivot point. Could be wrong, been wrong before { I think }. Maybe others have more information in reference to this gun.
