Manufactured in the 1870s and 1880s based on designs by Joseph Rider. Interestingly, more of these were engraved than were left plain. 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 factory scroll and border engraving on the receiver and back strap as well as the standard sights and markings. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

Exceptionally fine, retains 60% plus of the original high polish blue on the barrel and magazine and 70% plus of the vibrant original case colors, slightly muted in a few areas, with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey-brown patina. The grips are fine with some scattered light flaking of the varnish and minimal handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
