EXTREMELY RARE REMINGTON-RIDER PROTOTYPE MAGAZINE PISTOL.

Cal. Believed to be 32 RF Short. Appears to be a prototype for a side loading system for the fixed integral magazine vs. the tube loading system of the production model magazine pistol. Pistol has a 2-11/16″ ribbed rnd bbl with fixed integral magazine tube. Frame is brass with an integral trigger guard. Trigger system is like the production models. Grip frame of this pistol is slightly thicker but similar in shape and the breech block/hammer system are identical to the production model. Left side of frame has a small elliptical loading port without cover. Mounted with smooth 2-pc walnut grips. This is probably the only known example of this pistol and it is unknown whether the loading mechanism was effective or not. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fair. Bbl & magazine tube are a mottled silver/brown patina with light pitting; frame & trigger guard show nicks & scratches and a dark mustard patina. Grips are sound showing moderate to heavy wear. Hammer & breech block are moderately to heavily pitted. Mechanics are functional, dark pitted bore. 4-56539 JR143 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 1122
