Early Antique No.1 Remington Vest Pocket 22 Pistol “Saw Handle Deringer”

Serial #1104, .22 RF, 3.25 inch barrel with a fine dark bore with light pitting.  This is an early production, unmarked,  Remington No. 1 Vest Pocket Pistol, “Saw Handle Derringer” manufactured from 1865-1888.  In near excellent antique condition the barrel and frame retain about 85-90% of the original nickel finish with scattered contusions and carbon staining with scratches on the left side.  The walnut grips rate excellent.  Mechanically it functions properly cocking and firing with a crisp trigger pull.  A great example of these neat little pistols.  Antique.
