[1] A 6 shot 22 rimfire short, Remington's first firearm designed for metallic cartridge.
Six-Shot 3-3/16 barrel cluster with ZigZag grooves at the breech end working with diamond-shaped key extending in the interior from the ring trigger to provide the revolving mechanism of the barrels.
The grips are made of hard rubber (Gutta percha) and ivory being the only known other original.
[2] Extensive study has identified approximately 140 known examples, being that this model has quite a delicate mechanism and was replaced by the Remington-Elliot Derringer "New Repeating Pistol" even before all were assembled, the survival rate of this model is expected to be quite low.
