Less than 750 reportedly made by Remington circa 1900-1909, the Target Model of 1901 Rolling Block pistol marked the end of the Remington Rolling Block pistols. In the words of author Jerry Landskron, "It was the last and finest production model manufactured by the Remington Arms Company" (page 215 of "Remington Rolling Block Pistols"). Adjustable receiver mounted rear sight and beaded blade front sight. The barrel has the one-line Remington Arms address, and the frame has the two-line address/patent date markings ending in "1866" and "PS" inspector stamp. Matching number "2688" marked on the bottom of the barrel, rear flat of the forearm, left side of the grip frame, and inside the grip. "22 S" is marked on the bottom of the barrel. Provenance: Property of a Distinguished Southern Clergyman

Very fine, retaining 85% original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance. The wood is fine with a number of handling marks mostly on the bottom of the grip and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
