Description:

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.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus, retains 30% of the original blue finish with the balance a mottled grey-brown patina and a few scattered patches of light surface pitting. The grips are fine with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
