Featured in this lot is this Remington Model 95 .41 over under Derringer and gambler display circa 1890. The gambler display includes an authentic 19th century poker chip that shows a bald eagle holding arrows on one side and an olive branch in the other, and also shows hand made dice, and a 1889 liberty dollar that shows slight rainbowing and is well preserved for its age. The display includes a 1890 Remington Model 95 .41 over under Derringer one of the most iconic pocket hide-out weapons in American history, the Remington Double Derringer was chambered for the short .41 Rim Fire cartridge and manufactured from 1866-1935. All had 3” round superposed barrels that tip upward for loading or extraction of fired cases. The barrels were locked in place for firing by a rotating lever on the right side of the frame. The firing pin alternated from top barrel to bottom barrel automatically. Designed by innovative firearms inventor, William H. Elliot, the Double Derringer became the best, most widely known and recognized of American cartridge derringers of the latter half of the 19th century. The fact that this distinctive firearm was made for 69 years speaks well of its exceptional quality and compact design that found favor with men and women on both sides of the law. It is known that General Douglas Macarthur was carrying a Remington Double Derringer when he returned to the Philippine Islands during World War II. This example shows a well preserved pistol that features some browning to the original finish and shows original rubber grips. The barrel top is stamped with the correct Remington Arms Co. Ilion, N.Y. markings. The barrels lock firmly and the hinge appears solid and tight (hinges on this model are usually broken and loose). This is a popular collector’s handgun made even more popular by its use in numerous movies and television shows. John Wayne pulled a Remington .41 caliber Over-Under Double Derringer and shot a “highwayman” attempting to rob him in the opening scene of the classic movie “The Shootist”. A popular model with collectors, the Remington Model 95 is becoming scarcer and more difficult to obtain, especially with the factory nickel finish and in this superior state of preservation. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. The condition of this gambler display is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this display overall is 3" x 18" x 12".
