Introduced in 1863, the Remington-Elliot was an improved version of the "Zig-Zag" pepperbox, using a fixed barrel group with a rotating hammer assembly and double action ring trigger, setting the distinctive pattern for Remington's later pocket pistols. Silver bead front and frame notch rear sights, with the 2-line address and patent dates on top of the barrels. The upper sides and breech of the barrel are decorated with a sharply etched, engraving accented panel with an array of arms and flags emanating from the top flat and through the flutes, and fine scroll and vine patterns at the muzzle and breech. Punch dot backed scroll engraving, with a coverage of 80%, is present on the frame, with light borders around the barrel group, a radiant burst pattern emanating from the rear sight, light geometric designs on the back strap and an inscription scroll on the butt. The inscription scroll contains the painted and lacquered marking "KM542", as seen on arms from the Karl Moldenhauer Collection. Fitted with a pair of smooth, contoured grips.

Excellent plus, with 95% of the original silver finish, showing a fine, well aged patina, especially in the lower and protected areas, and mild handling marks overall. The grips are excellent, with an age crack in the right panel and an attractive color and grain. Mechanically fine. A highly attractive arm, both as a piece of Remington history and as a work of art in its own right.
