Description:
19th-century original Remington derringer with original bullets is a significant piece of firearm history, known for its compact design and association with personal defense during the late 1800s. Here’s a detailed description:
Remington Derringer
  • Model: The most iconic is the Remington Model 95, first produced in 1866.
  • Design:
    • It featured a double-barrel, over-and-under configuration with a break-action mechanism for loading.
    • Chambered in .41 Rimfire, it was a popular pocket pistol for self-defense.
    • The barrels were typically 3 inches long, and the entire gun was compact enough to be easily concealed.
  • Construction:
    • The frame was usually made of nickel-plated or blued steel.
    • The grips could be made of hard rubber, ivory, or wood, depending on the variation and customizations.
Original Bullets
  • Type: The ammunition used was .41 Short Rimfire cartridges, a relatively low-powered round by modern standards.
  • Design: The bullet was typically lead with a copper or brass case containing black powder. Original bullets are rare collectibles today.
Historical Significance
  • Popularity: Remington Derringers were favored for their reliability and compact size, making them a choice weapon for civilians, gamblers, and law enforcement in the Old West.
  • Cultural Impact: These guns are frequently associated with the Wild West era and have been featured in literature, film, and folklore.
Care and Display
  • Preservation: Both the firearm and ammunition should be stored in a controlled environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Safety: Ammunition should not be fired, as 19th-century cartridges may be unstable due to age.
An original Remington Derringer with matching ammunition is a prized collector's item representing the ingenuity and cultural history of 19th-century firearms.

The Remington Double Derringer appeared in 1866. This pistol, available only in . 41 caliber rimfire, was in production longer than any other Remington handgun. During the 69 years between 1866 and 1935, it is estimated that over 150,000 of this still-popular model were manufactured.


THE GUN IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL (IT COMES WITH EXTRA ORIGINAL HANDLERS). THE TOP LEFT HAND SIDE HINGE IS MISSING A SMALL PIECE OF METAL BUT IT OPENS AND FIRE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.
