Manufactured c. 1871-1888, this design by Joseph Rider with its tube magazine was one of the more unusual designs seen amongst a plethora of late 19th century pocket pistol designs. The vast majority of these pistols were factory engraved, making a non-engraved example like this one relatively scarce. The standard two-line Remington address and patent date are on the top of the barrel. It is fitted with blade front sight, peep rear sight through the breech block, and a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Accompanying the pistol is the extremely rare pasteboard box. This orange box features the correct label on the bottom with the finish of the gun identified as nickel: "Rider Repeater./Full Pate." The interior of the lid has the directions. The pistol and the box are pictured and identified in Eberhart and Wilson's "The Deringer in America, Volume II" on page 200. The rarity of the box is cited in the photo caption: "Only three Rider magazine pistol pasteboard boxes have been located by the authors."
