Remington manufactured these distinctive multi-shot pistols from the mid-1860s through around 1888. They were advertised in 1866 as "Repeating Pistol, (Elliot pt.) No. 22 Cartridge" and "Repeating Pistol, (Elliot pt.) No. 32 Cartridge." The former is often referred to as the No. 1 size and the latter as the No. 2 size. This particular pistol is an exceptionally fine example of the No. 2 size. These pistols were often carried in coat pockets and thus rarely found in such high condition due to wear and moistures, making examples like this highly desirable on the collectors market. The left side rib of the barrel group has the standard one-line E. Remington & Sons address, while the Elliot's patent marking is on the right rib. The matching serial number is marked on the inside of the frame and bottom of the barrel group. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight, notch rear sight, and a pair of smooth pearl grips. Includes a leatherette wrapped case. Per page 154 of "The Deringer in America Vol. 2" by Eberhart and Wilson, "Pipe-style casings and leather boxes are rare, and are likely to be found containing embellished pistols. Less than 50 of all types of casings exist today." Provenance: The Robert Haward Collection; The Herb Glass Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Excellent, retains 97% plus of the untouched original nickel plated finish with a few small patches of light wear at the muzzles. The grips are also excellent with a few light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with the lid separated from the lower half and some mild handling/storage wear.
