An estimate 15,000 or less of these small pocket pistols were manufactured in the 1870s and 1880s based on designs by Joseph Rider. The pistol was clearly influenced by the popular Winchester rifles of the period an their predecessors and are among the earlier magazine fed pocket pistols. The pistol takes up basically the same amount of pocket space as Remington's famous double derringer but allowed for five shots instead of two. This example has special grips and factory geometric, scroll, and punch dot engraving patterns. It also has the standard sights and markings.

Fine. 90% of the original nickel plating remains. The hammer and breech have strong nitre blue and case colors respectively, and there is gray patina on the back strap and spur trigger. The grips are excellent and have attractive iridescent colors and minor handling and storage marks. The action functions fine, and the markings and engraving patterns are crisp.
