An estimated 25,000 of these derringers were manufactured c.1867-1888 split between .22 RF and .32 RF like this example. 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. It has the matching serial number on the bottom of the action and barrel, a blade front sight, single line address on the left of the barrel group and single line patent marking on the right, and smooth pearl grips. Includes a fitted hardwood case with an empty cartridge block.

Fine, retains traces of the original gold finish in sheltered areas with the balance having thinned to mostly an attractively aged silver, a few scattered patches of light pitting, and crisp engraving overall. The grips are also fine with a few minor chips and light handling marks. The trigger mechanism appears jammed. The case is very fine with some scattered light handling/storage marks.
