Elliot designed a revolutionary pocket pistol to fire the .41 Short rimfire caliber metallic cartridge. At the time, it was the most powerful small handgun cartridge on the market. This compact but hard-hitting pistol was immediately embraced by riverboat gamblers, ladies of the night, messengers, travelers, shopkeepers and anyone else who needed an easily concealable, large-caliber weapon for self defense. Its novel design featured twin, over-and-under barrels that swung open from a top hinge for loading and cartridge extraction, a “spur” trigger and large, comfortable grips. This was one, but not the first, of the more than . Elliot would be granted over the last half of the nineteenth century. To manufacture his new pistol, Dr. Elliot contracted with the E. Remington & Sons arms firm in upstate New York, which by 1867 had been in the gunmaking business for more than fifty years. The Remington Double Deringer, as it has become known among collectors, was sleek, simple, sturdy, effective and inexpensive. One of the guns that followed was a four or five barreled derringer with a ring trigger and a rotating firing pin. This model was made in both .22RF and .32RF, and was referred to in Remington’s literature as Elliot’s Patent Repeating Pistol. Others referred to it as a ring trigger derringer and others as a pepperbox. This derringer is chambered in .22 Rimfire, the less common of the two models with only about 30 percent of the approximately 25,000 guns produced in this chambering. The derringer is in about Good condition as Antique with good mechanics and nice markings. This is very innovative design and worth in a spot in any collection of derringers and pocket pistols.    Price: $2,200.00 Antique: Yes Handgun Caliber: .22 Short Manufacturer: E Remington Model: Elliots Patent Pepperbox Serial Number: 9388 Barrel Length: 3 Condition: Good Metal Condition: Good Wood Condition: Good Bore Condition: Good Barrel Type: 5 Barrel Action: Double Triggers: Ring Trigger
