Remington made these ring-trigger, multi-barrel, repeating deringers 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 is marked, “Elliot’s Patents. May 29. 1860 – Oct. 1. 1861.” The left channel reads: “Manufactured by E. Remington & Sons. Ilion. N.Y.” The polished gutta percha grip panels are very good. The frame and barrel are smooth with traces of blue, steel gray, and plum patina. The rear, right frame screw is missing.  Mechanically, the pistol functions well, with slight play in the barrel to frame fit at the pivot point.  Each bore is dull, but retains deep rifling. The serial number is 3075, likely dating it to the Civil War.

A nice example of a popular and unorthodox Civil War era weapon.  [cm][ph:L]
