Manufactured in the 1870s and 1880s based on designs by Joseph Rider. The design was clearly influenced by the popular Winchester rifles of the period and their predecessors. The Riders are among the earliest magazine fed 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 unique, seldom encountered factory scroll and border engraving on the receiver and back strap as well as the standard sights and markings.
