Manufactured c. 1867-1888, these pistols are two of only approximately 10,000 of these single shot "Vest Pocket" derringers manufactured by Remington under Elliot's patent. Both of these pistols show fantastic factory floral scroll engraving encompassing the sides of the frames, with geometric and starburst designs on the tops of the frames and back strap. Both have a full silver plated finish with the breech block hammers finished in nitre blue. The barrels on both are fitted with a small bead front sight and have the two-line Remington address and Elliot patent marking. Both are marked with their respective consecutive serial numbers on the bottom of the barrel and the bottom of the frame. They are both fitted with an attractive pair of checkered, antique ivory grips. Includes a custom hardwood case with interior fitted for the two pistols, as well as an included screwdriver, box of U.M.C. .41 RF cartridges, and a cleaning rod.

Very fine, retains 95% plus of the professionally replated silver finish, showing an attractively aged patina overall, with some light spotting on the grip straps and trigger. The grips are fine with some light handling marks, some darkening of the grooves, and crisp checkering. Hammer slips off safety notch when trigger is pulled; otherwise, mechanically excellent. The relined case is very fine with some minor handling/storage marks.
