REMINGTON TYPE II DOUBLE DERRINGER. SN 44. Cal. 41 RF. Nickel finish with 3″ superposed bbls, marked on top rib “REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y.” Mounted with full checkered hard rubber grips. Accompanied by a black gutta percha case similar to a Smith & Wesson Model 1 revolver case, 7″ x 3-7/8″ x 1-1/2″, with raised foliate and floral patterns on lid. Interior appears to have been relined in red cloth. Although this was a high production model of the venerable double Derringer, they are seldom found with high orig finish. They were extremely popular as pocket pistols, especially with gamblers and ladies of the evening due to their easy concealment and short range powerful punch. PROVENANCE: Dr. John Pickup Collection. CONDITION: Pistol is extremely fine, possibly unfired, retaining virtually all of its crisp orig nickel and fire blue on the hammer, trigger, extractor, latch and screws. Left grip has a tiny chip and a small flat spot on each side, showing little wear. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bores, probably unfired. Case, relined as noted, with a repaired hinge, missing one latch in bottom front and has a repair in the bottom. 4-46465 JR94 (2,500-4,000)
