RARE FACTORY ENGRAVED REMINGTON ELLIOT DERRINGER (PEPPERBOX).

SN 9395. Cal. 22 Short. Nickel finish with 3″ 5-shot bbl cluster that has pin sight and 2-line address on top flute. Mounted with 2-pc smooth pearl grips. Pistol is factory engraved, probably from the Nimschke shop with flowing foliate arabesque patterns on the frame, back strap, butt strap and three flutes of the bbl cluster. Rear of recoil shield is engraved in a delicate fan pattern and top sides of recoil shield are engraved in a flag pattern. Bbl ribs around the muzzle are engraved in geometric patterns. There were about 7,000 of these little pistols produced in the period 1863-1870 with a variety of finishes. They were extremely popular as pocket pistols and usually saw hard service. Few were engraved and very few of those survive today. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine. Overall retains about all of a factory quality restored finish with some minor flaking and crackling of the finish on the bbls; right side of frame is mostly a gray metal patina. Right grip has lost a large sliver of surface pearl, otherwise grips are sound and show great fire. Firing pin does not appear to rotate, otherwise mechanics are fine; strong bright bores with scattered light pitting. 4-56394 JR154 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1118
