EARLY SCARCE Antique REMINGTON TYPE I .41 Caliber RF DOUBLE DERINGER Pistol
Less than 2,000 Produced Model 1 Over/Under Pistol
Here we present a Remington Type I Double Deringer Over/Under pistol manufactured in Ilion, New York. Made circa 1866, less than 2,000 of these little deringers were produced. This is a very early example with serial number 574. At around serial number 1,600, an extractor was installed on the left side, between the barrels.
Remington manufactured more than 150,000 of these over-under double-barreled deringers from 1866 until the end of their production in 1935, which is a testament to the design as well as Americans’ desire to carry a concealed weapon. The gun was made only in .41 Short rimfire. There are four models with several variations. The first model, first variation is only the first 100 made and were marked "MANUFACTURED BY E. REMINGTON & SONS" on one side rib, and "ELLIOTS PATENT DEC 12 1865" on the other side rib. These are very rare. The second variation is marked the same without the "MANUFACTURED BY". The third variation has an extractor on the left side and is referred to as an "extractor cut." The fourth variation is marked, "REMINGTONS ILION NY" and is very rare.
The Deringer was sturdily built and simple in operation. A lever on the right side of the frame swings so that the barrels may open upward on a hinge for loading and unloading. There is a single firing pin that moves from one barrel to another with each cock.
The Remington Deringer has been made famous, especially in the old Western films, but use of these guns really was widespread. Lawmen and gangsters alike would carry them as backups or something to stick in a pocket. Civilians loved them, as well as those in the military. In fact, the NRA Museum has a specimen in their collection which was carried as a backup by a pilot during the Korean War in the 1950s.
The overall condition is good. Old nickel refinish throughout with original blue finish on the hammer. The action (hammer/trigger) remains strong, while the firing pin remains relatively centered between the chambers. The bores are patinaed with thin rifling. There is a very short crack on the left hinge. The grips are a bit undersized though still solid.
