EXTREMELY RARE TYPE I TRANSITIONAL REMINGTON OVER/UNDER DERRINGER.

SN 433. Cal. 41 RF. All blue finish with 3″ bbls that have integral top rib & front sight with marking on left rib “E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION.” Right rib has the Elliot’s patent date. Mounted with 2-pc smooth rosewood grips. This derringer, as noted, is a transitional model from the Type I early production that was made without extractor. It is readily apparent that this pistol was an orig Type I with extractor added which removed “N.Y.” from the address when the extractor was installed. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms there were only about 100 of these pistols produced 1867-1868, making them one of Remington’s most rare hand guns. Few of this model survive today in any condition. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Bbls retain 60-70% thin orig blue showing wear on sides of the bbls; frame retains traces of blue being mostly a gray/brown patina; trigger, hammer, lock bolt & screws retain thin orig fire blue, stronger on the hammer & lock bolt. Grips are sound showing a hand worn patina. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bores. Hinge is intact. 4-56338 JR150 (3,500-5,000) – Lot 1151
