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 particular pistol is an exceptionally fine example of the No. 2 size. These pistols were often carried in coat pockets and thus rarely found in such high condition due to wear and moistures, making examples like this highly desirable on the collectors market. The left side rib of the barrel group has the standard one-line E. Remington & Sons address, while the Elliot's patent marking is on the right rib. The matching serial number is marked on the inside of the frame and bottom of the barrel group. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight, notch rear sight, and a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Includes the original box with correct Remington label inside the lid and is faintly hand numbered to the gun on the bottom and a cleaning rod.

Exceptionally fine, retains 85% of the original blue finish with some light wear on high spots and at the muzzle. The grips are very fine with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with some moderate edge/corner wear.
