A metallic cartridge conversion of the Remington-Rider pocket revolver that was introduced after 1873 with this example having a factory engraving. Only approximately 2,000 of these revolvers were made in total, with the majority being the earlier percussion variant. The engraving on this example mostly consists of floral scrollwork on a punch dot background with geometric panel motifs on several of the barrel flats and accents on top of the frame, butt and back strap. The barrel is numbered to the gun and has the two-line Remington address/Rider patent dates marking. It is fitted with a pair of smooth antique ivory grips.

Fine, retains traces of the original blue finish with a few small scattered patches of brown oxidation/light pitting, mostly crisp engraving, and retaining most of the nickel finish on the trigger guard. The slightly undersize grips are very fine with some scattered light handling marks and an attractively aged tone. Mechanically excellent.
