Remington No. 3 Vest Pocket "Saw Handle" Derringer Pistol

One of approximately 14,000 manufactured c. 1865-1888 and often referred to as the "Saw Handle Derringer", pocket pistols such as these grew in popularity as quickly as the late 19th century urban centers of North America and Europe. They were highly valued as a hidden last defense against widespread crime, particularly muggings. Often being carried in a pocket, these pistols are rarely seen in high condition like this example. The standard two-line address and patent dates is marked on the top barrel flat. The matching serial number is marked on the left of the grip frame and on the bottom of the barrel. It is fitted with a brass post front sight and a pair of smooth walnut grips. Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection

ConditionExceptionally fine, retains 90% of the period refinished blue and bright nitre blue with a few scattered patches of light spotting, most noticeably on the sides of the breech block, and some light edge wear. The re-oiled grips are very fine with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
