Lot 3155: Remington Elliot 5-Shot Ring Trigger Pepperbox Pistol

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. It is fitted with a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

Very good, retains strong traces of the original blue finish, more prominent on the barrels, with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina. The grips are also very good with some light handling marks scattered throughout. Mechanically fine.
