Cased Early Engraved Remington Rider Double Action Percussion Pocket Revolver

The Remington-Rider was one of the first double action revolvers manufactured in significant quantities (estimated 2,000) in the U.S. and were produced from around 1860 until 1873. The distinctive features of the "mushroom style" cylinder, double action mechanism and straight trigger were the design of Joseph Rider of Newark, Ohio. Marked "MANUFACTURED BY REMINGTONS ILION. N.Y./RIDERS. PT. AUG. 17. 1858. MAY 3. 1859." on top barrel flat. The matching serial number is marked on the barrel, trigger guard, frame and grips. The cylinder is etched in floral scroll patterns, and the frame has a floral scroll engraving. The trigger guard is German silver. Fitted with two-piece checkered grips. The partitioned case is lined in brown velvet, has brass hardware and contains a British made percussion cap container, two cavity bullet mold, case key, unmarked plain powder flask and cleaning rod.

ConditionVery fine. The barrel and cylinder retain 85% plus bright original high polish blue finish with the balance thinning to a brown. The frame retains strong traces of original blue finish in and around the protected areas with the balance a mixture between smooth brown and gray patinas. The German silver is fine. The hammer retains 40% original case colors, and the trigger retains strong traces of original niter blue. The grips are excellent with crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The relined case is fine with a putty filled repair near a bottom corner, repaired lid and some minor handling/storage marks. The lining shows some high spot wear.
