Originally patented in 1858, these became very popular on the River Boats of the great Mississippi river in the 1870's. They were often used by gamblers and others who would require protection on the often dark decks. The pistol was originally fully nickel plated, however almost all has worn off over the decades. With just a 3\" barrel and 4 3\/4” overall, this was ideal for a waistcoat pocket. The barrel top strap is marked with the Remington Address:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION.

The checkering is worn, and the right scale has a chunk missing at the top. A lever on the right 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. This also shows serial number \u003cstrong\u003e3\u003c\/strong\u003e on the bottom of the barrel, which matches the number under the grips. We do not know if this is the 3rd ever made, or just the third of this particular revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 show rifling, but also some wear and oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound in many, many Western Movies these have become an old CLASSIC OF THE AMERICAN WEST.
