These small pistols allowed for more than double the capacity of Remington's famous double derringer in roughly the same overall size. They were manufactured from 1871 to 1888. Most were factory engraved making plain examples like this one harder to find and thus particularly desirable. Adding to this pistol's desirability are the checkered grips (commonly smooth) and 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.

Very good plus. The barrel and magazine tube retain 30% original blue finish and traces of original casehardened patterns remain on the frame with the balance a mottled gray patina mixed with pitting. The grips are fine with minimal handling marks and crisp period non-factory checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
