*RARE REMINGTON MODEL 51 SEMI-AUTO PISTOL WITH ORIGINAL BOX.

SN PA65928. Cal. .32 ACP. Blue finish with 3-1/2″ bbl, fixed sight with usual markings and mounted with “REMINGTON / UMC” trademark embossed checkered hard rubber grips. Accompanied by one orig magazine. Also accompanied by its orig burgundy hinged lid cardboard box with tan & black end labels and front label. Front label is marked, in ink, with the matching SN. Inside the box contains an orig wire cleaning rod & twisted wire handle bristle brush. It additionally has an orig 4-page warranty reminder and a large 8-page owner’s pamphlet. While these pistols were produced in fairly large numbers, those in Caliber .32 are rarely encountered and were apparently a much smaller production than their companion .380 Caliber pistols. They usually saw hard service in close proximity to body sweat in shoulder holsters, hip holsters or simply in pockets, and are rarely found today with high orig finish. Boxed examples are extremely rare. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Pistol retains 98-99% crisp orig blue with only some faint box burn on each side at the muzzle end of slide. Grips have a couple small nicks & show very light wear. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. Box has broken corners & front edge, and is missing burgundy paper covering on hinge. Edges show wear with tape around edges of lid. Pamphlets are yellowed with light wear & slight damage. 4-56373 JR103 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1072
