A) Early Production Remington No. 1 Vest Pocket Pistol
Manufactured from 1865-1888 with the standard two-line Remington address and patent mark on top of the frame. The early serial number "35" is marked on the left of the grip frame. This is a very early production example that lacks the address and patent markings. It is fitted with a pair of smooth walnut grips. Includes a canvas case.
Excellent, retains 95% plus of the original nickel finish and strong niter blue on the trigger and hammer with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with some light wear.
B) Engraved Remington No. 1 Vest Pocket Pistol with Pearl Grips
Manufactured from 1865-1888 with the standard two-line Remington address and patent mark on top of the frame. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the barrel and partially on the bottom of the frame. The frame has nearly complete coverage floral scroll engraving and the initials "H.E.H." are inscribed on the butt. It is fitted with a pair of smooth pearl grips. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection
Good, retains traces of the original silver finish and strong traces of original nitre blue on the trigger and hammer with the balance showing a smooth grey patina and crisp engraving. The oversized replacement grips are very good with a light chip in the front upper corner of the left panel and light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
