Description:

Marketed as the New Repeating Pistol [Elliot's Patent] No.2, the Remington-Elliot 32 Caliber Pepperbox was manufactured from 1863 to 1888, concurrently with the 22 Pepperbox. Silver finished blade front and groove rear sights with "MANUFACTURED BY E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, N.Y." on the left barrel rib and "ELLIOT'S PATENTS MAY 29, 1860-OCT.1, 1861" on the right markings. The top barrels are decoratively etched with a 13/4 inch wedge of scrollwork at the breech end and a 3/4 inch wedge at the muzzle. The engraving has a matte background. The frame is engraved with floral scroll designs. Blue barrels, nickel frame and niter blue small parts, and fitted with smooth ivory grips. The derringer comes in an original two piece leather case with red velvet lining and original instruction sheet.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as assembled. The barrels are mis-matched (13697) and retain 85% blue finish with some light oxidation. The frame retains 70% original silver plated finish with a dark patina on the balance. The grips are excellent with a couple tiny hairline age cracks around the escutcheon and an attractive color and grain. The engraving and markings are crisp. The case is good with the lid separated from the body and showing some scuffs and light scratches on the exterior and some minor contact wear on the lining. The instruction sheet has been torn in half and has a very old piece of tape on it. There are also a couple small tears and a few tiny pieces absent. The action is fine.
