The Remington-Rider pistol was manufactured in 1871-1888 and is one of the few pistol designs to use a tubular magazine. The Rider uses a removable tube magazine somewhat similar to the Spencer but fitted under the barrel similar to the popular Winchester lever action rifles of the period. While most of these pistols are engraved, this example has the higher coverage "deluxe" engraving. The barrel has the two-line Remington address and patent dates. The sides of the frame have full coverage floral scroll engraving, a large flourish on the back strap, and wavy lines and dot patterns on the barrel. It is fitted with a pair of smooth rosewood grips.

Exceptionally fine, retains 95% plus of the original nickel finish with some light muzzle and trigger wear, and a few scattered very small patches of light flaking. The grips are very good with a minor chip absent from the left and some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically needs adjustment as the hammer will not remain cocked.
