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:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREMINGTON ARMS CO.

Unlike most we see, this has the original nickel plating almost completely retained! It even still has the bluing present on the screws, trigger, hammer, and even on the side mounted ejector! The grips are in excellent condition, still showing strong checkering and just a tiny bit of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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 \u003cstrong\u003e700\u003c\/strong\u003e on the bottom of the barrel, while there is no 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 1890. 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 excellent condition, showing a bright finish with strong lands and grooves. There is a bit of past wear, but it looks like overall this pistol was used very little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound in many, many Western Movies these have become an old CLASSIC OF THE AMERICAN WEST.
