Remington made these ring-trigger, multi-barrel, repeating derringers in .32 caliber from 1863 to 1888. Production is estimated at around 17,500 (70 percent of the combined total of 25,000 in both .22 and .32 caliber.) The barrel assembly tilts forward for loading or extracting cartridges.
The ring trigger made it hard to tangle up in a pocket or fire by accident and actuates a rotating firing pin that moves to the next round as it is pulled, giving the user some firepower in a close-in fight across a card table, out a stage coach window, or in a theatre alleyway.
The right channel of the barrel assembly has a worn mark, “Elliots’ Patents. May 29. 1860 – Oct. 1. 1861.” The left channel reads: “Manufactured by E. Remington & Sons. Ilion. N.Y.” The gutta purcha grip panels are good. The frame and barrel are smooth with dark gray/brown tones.
The serial number is 13733 likely dating it after the war, but as a type it would fit a Civil War or early western display with production starting in 1863 and running right through the Wild West era. [jet][ph:L]
