Outstanding E. Remington & Sons Elliot No. 1 Derringer Pepperbox Pistol with Scarce Original Box as Pictured in "The Derringer in American Vol. II" by Eberhart and Wilson

Remington manufactured these distinctive multi-shot pistols from the mid-1860s through around 1888. They were advertised in 1866 as "Repeating Pistol, (Elliot pt.) No. 22 Cartridge" and "Repeating Pistol, (Elliot pt.) No. 32 Cartridge." The former is often referred to as the No. 1 size and the latter as the No. 2 size. This extraordinary No. 1 size example is pictured on p. 153 of "The Derringer in America Vol. II" by Eberhart and Wilson where it is listed by serial number and pictured with the original box which is included with it now. The book incorrectly lists the frame as nickel plated instead of silver. The top of the barrel group has the standard two-line Remington address and Elliot's patent marking. The matching serial number is marked on the inside of the frame and bottom of the barrel group. It is fitted with bead front and notch rear sights as well as a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Includes the original box with correct Remington label on the bottom which is faintly hand numbered to the gun. Provenance: The L.D. Eberhart Collection, The Herb Glass Jr. Collection; The Greg Lampe Collection

ConditionExcellent, retains 90% plus of the original blue finish and 95% of the original silver plating which shows an attractively aged patina, with some light edge wear, a patch of grey patina on the butt, and some scattered very light flaking. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks and nearly all of the original varnish. Mechanically excellent. The box is good with some moderate handling/storage wear.
