Remington's classic over/under derringers, aka the "Double Derringer" or "Model 95," are undoubtedly among the most iconic pocket pistols of the American West. The design was patented by William H. Elliot on December 12, 1865, with this variation being manufactured from 1870 to 1888. This early second style variation is marked with the two-line "E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, N.Y./ELLIOT'S PATENT DECEMBER 12TH 1865" marking on the rib and an ejector fitted to the left side. The scroll engraving patterns on the barrel and frame are designs found on a select number of other early Remington derringers. The serial number is on the bottom of the lower barrel and on the frame under the left grip. Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection; The George S. Lewis Jr. Collection

Fine, retains 80% of the original blue finish on the barrels and 20% of the original blue on the frame with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth brown-grey patina, and the engraving crisp overall. The grips are also fine with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
