Description:

Less than 1,000 of these small pocket pistols were manufactured in 1861-1862. These were the first Remington firearms designed to fire metallic cartridges. Advertisements listed them as "Elliott's Pocket Revolvers." Many have been lost or destroyed leaving few to fill their places in advanced Remington collections. They are difficult to find in any condition. The frame has the three-line Elliot's patent marking on the left side and the three-line Remington address marking on the right.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 60% original silver plating with an attractive grey and brown patina on the balance with some pitting on the back strap. Grips are very fine with some light handling marks. Mechanically fine.
