Less than 1,000 of these small pocket pistols were manufactured in 1861-1862. These were the first Remington firearms designed to fire metallic cartridges, with period advertisements listed them as "Elliott's Pocket Revolvers." Many have been lost or destroyed leaving few to fill their places in advanced Remington collections. They are difficult to find in any condition due to generally spending a lot of time pocketed. The left side of the frame has the standard three-line Elliot's patent marking, while the right of the frame has the standard three-line Remington address. The matching serial number is on the left of the grip frame and stamped inside each grip panel. It is fitted with a pin front sight on each of the six barrel ribs, a notch rear sight, and a pair of smooth gutta percha grips.

Very good plus, retains 20% of the original blue finish and 50% of the original silver finish, both primarily in sheltered areas, with some light flaking, mild wear, and the balance mostly grey-brown patina. The grips are fine with some light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
