Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Originally patented in 1858, the Remington Model 95 Pocket Pistol became very popular on the River Boats of the great Mississippi river beginning in the 1870's. They were often used by gamblers and others who would require protection on the often dark decks. Having just a 3" barrel and measuring 4 3/4” overall, this was ideal for a waistcoat pocket. The barrel top strap is marked with the Remington Address:
REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y.
The pistol is a more utilitarian example that we sometimes see, originally produced in a blued finish with checkered "gutta percha" composition grips. The finish is now worn mostly to a plum patina over most of the metalwork, with areas on the underside of the barrel and under the breech lever still displaying some of the original bluing. The grips are in lovely condition, still showing strong checkering, and no major damage, just some small scratches and scrapes.
A lever on the right of the pistol side releases the barrel, which flips upwards for extraction and reloading. There is even a nice manual extractor on the left side of the pistol, which is still fully functional. This also shows serial number 151 on the bottom of the barrel, which matches the number under the grips. The serial numbers on these restarted after the company was renamed "Remington Arms Co." in 1888, so this pistol was produced in approximately 1889. The hammer has a rather ingenious mechanism that moves the rimfire firing pin up and down alternately, so only one barrel fires at a time. It appears to function correctly, but we have not verified this. The bores are in very good condition, showing clear rifling, but also wear and past fouling from use.
Found in many, many Western Movies these have become an old CLASSIC OF THE AMERICAN WEST. In lovely used condition and ready to display!
