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 Dr. William H. Elliot on December 12, 1865, with this variation being manufactured from 1870 to 1888. This early 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. Includes a plain maroon box with interior Remington factory style label. It is fitted with a pair of hard rubber grips that appear to be backed with pewter. Provenance: The George S. Lewis Jr. Collection
