Very Scarce Non-Engraved Casehardened/Blue Finished Remington-Rider Magazine Pistol

These small pistols allowed for more than double the capacity of Remington's famous double derringer in roughly the same overall size and are based on designs by Joseph Rider, one of Remington's principle engineers at the time. They were manufactured from 1871 to 1888. Most were factory engraved making plain examples like this one much more difficult to find and thus particularly desirable. Adding to this pistol's desirability are blue and casehardened finishes (commonly nickel plated). This example has the two-line address and 1871 patent date marking on top of the barrel and is outfitted with the standard sights and smooth rosewood grips. There is a removable collection mark in white on the butt. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

ConditionFine, retains 60% of the original blue on the barrel and magazine and strong traces of the mostly muted original case colors with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina. The grips are very good with some mild wear and scattered light handling marks. The breech block must be pulled back slightly harder than usual to cock the hammer, otherwise mechanically fine.
