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 is a fine example of a No. 2 Deringer with rare factory engraving. The engraving consists of floral scroll on the sides of the frame and back strap, as well as on the top two barrels at the muzzles and breeches. The left rib between the barrels is marked with the one-line address, while the right has the Elliot's patent dates. The matching serial number is marked on the frame under the barrels and on the bottom of the barrels. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight and a pair of smooth antique ivory grips.

Very good, retains traces of the original silver finish in sheltered areas with the balance a mottled grey brown patina, some light surface pitting/oxidation, and mostly crisp engraving. The attractive grips are fine with an attractively aged tone and some hairline age lines around the screws. Mechanically excellent.
