VERY RARE REMINGTON-RIDER MAGAZINE PISTOL WITH COLOR CASE HARDENED FRAME.

SN 822. Cal. 32 RF Extra short. Rare pistol with 3-1/4″ blued oct bbl with integral magazine and German silver half moon front sight. Top flat of bbl is without the usual 2-line address. Frame & breech block are color case hardened with the trigger & hammer fire-blued. Mounted with smooth, varnished 2-pc rosewood grips. This pistol also has another rare feature in that it is serialized. The vast majority of these pistols were without SNs. There were perhaps as many as 15,000 of these scarce revolvers produced 1871-1888. Extremely few were color case hardened and a serialized specimen is exceedingly rare. These little pistols usually saw hard service and are rarely found with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl retains 88-90% glossy orig blue with sharp edge wear and some minor flaking; magazine tube retains about 60% orig blue with the balance a blue/brown patina; frame retains about all of its orig case colors, brilliant in areas on the sides and over the top, moderately faded elsewhere with some light freckling on the left side; back strap is a mottled gray patina; trigger retains strong fire blue and the hammer brilliant fire blue. Grips have a few light nicks & scratches with moderate wear on sharp edges and retain most of their orig varnish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-56479 JR173 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1129
