SN 3496. Cal 22. Rare pistol with 10″ oct to rnd bbl, very tall hunting style front sight with white bead and adjustable rear sight over chamber area of frame as found on the Model 1901. Top of the rnd section of bbl has the Remington company name & address and the bottom, toward the forearm is marked “22 L.R.”. Bottom flat of bbl, under forearm is marked “22LR” along with the SN “3469”. Forearm has matching number while the left side of backstrap, under the grip is marked with the SN “3496”, which number is also found in front strap channel of grip, apparently an assemblers case of dyslexia or a bad Monday morning. Frame, breech block & hammer are blued like the Model 1901 while it still has the “P” & “S” proof marks on left side of frame like the Model 1891. It also has the offset thumb piece on breech block like the 1901s. Trigger is checkered. Mounted with extensively checkered 1-pc walnut grip and tiny forearm. This apparently is a Model 1901 with an 1891 frame. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms there 735 Model 1901 pistols produced in the period 1901-1909. As with most target arms of that era the eccentric shooters of that age almost always altered their firearms to suit themselves. Target arms of that era are rarely found today with high orig finish or orig configuration. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine. Numbered as noted above. Bbl retains 95-97% strong orig blue with light muzzle edge wear and a few small scattered spots of surface rust. Frame & grip frame retain most of their orig blue with a couple small spots of wear on the front strap and trigger bow. Breech block and hammer retain most of their orig blue. Grip is missing a large chip out of the toe otherwise wood is sound showing moderate edge wear with moderate diamond point wear and retains about 85% orig varnish. Mechanics are crisp. Brilliant shiny bore. 4-56403 JR184 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 1175
