The derringer looks suspiciously like an old High Standard double-action derringer. In fact, it would be a twin of the High Standard except that High Standard had an open-front trigger guard, IIRC.
Yes, the barrel setup looks like an exact copy of the High Standard. The real question then becomes, did they fix the internals? (The old High Standards have very twitchy actions that tend to break. I have several and they all needed work.)
