The Remington derringer was extremely popular as a concealment arm by citizens of all walks of life, from gamblers to lawmen and ladies of the evening and about everyone in between.

Grips are sound, showing light to moderate wear and retain about 75% orig varnish. Extractor screw is orig but seems to be a little short and does not fully engaged the stop slot and will fall out. Box shows heavy edge wear with one broken seam in the bottom edge. 4-53668 JR236 (4,000-5,000) – Lot 3181
