Very Scarce and Desirable Remington Ring Trigger "Zig-Zag" Derringer

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. This example does not show the typical markings on either the left or right of the frame, and the serial number is marked on the butt rather than on the left of the grip frame.

ConditionGood, showing a mostly smooth grey patina and some scattered patches of light pitting. The grips are also fine with a few scattered minor dings/chips. Mechanically fine. A rare Remington derringer missing from many collections!
