Hi Rand,

The forum admin has changed, and the new one can't answer your questions. The old one was a ring trigger collector.
There are three ring triggers.
1) the first is the Zig-zag, only 1,000 made 1866-67. It has rotating barrels, and was complicated to make, and easily broken so discontinued ...

Hi Auntiwe,

First a couple of suggestions on taking photos of guns, especially pistols. First use a plain, uncluttered background.
Next start with photos of both sides of the complete pistol. Without both sides, we may miss something. Next you can take detail photos such as you have done.

I have ...

Hi Dave,

It is a New Model Police. It is the only medium frame revolver that Remington made.
Only the police and Belt Models have the screws enter from the right side.

The best bet for info on the express company is an internet search.

Good luck,
Daniel

Hi Stacke87,

Seriously?? You post on a Remington forum and ask for info on a Winchester sign???
That's like Ford calling GM and asking for advise.

If you haven't tried the Winchester site, you should do so. That will be your best best to get info.
Now if you have a Remington sign, we'll be glad ...

Hi ya Greenie,

Welcome to the Remmie forums.
The dubai troll is a first here, and hopefully the admin will be along soon and erase the post.

Hi Steven,

Was the pistol described incorrectly? If so, you should be able to return it to he auction and get your money back.

The few parts you need will be hard to find and pricey.
Good luck in your search if you keep the pistol.

niqash03 What does your post have to do with the topic? Go back to your hole in the desert if you have nothing to add.

Research is under way on CW revolvers of any make, which have an etched cylinder, especially if it shows a scene of horsemen, men standing, or hunting scenes. Needed is the make, model, serial, and a short description of the scene. Please send info to Daniel Pozarek: aardqe5@gmail.com
Thank you

Super c,
Thanks for the info. Were the civilian baby carbines made for the civilian market, or were they guns that failed the military inspection?

Thanks.
Daniel

Hi Chuck,

Boy, did I show my ignorance of the canes guns. I'm still trying to scrub all the egg off of my face! Thank you for jumping in and giving the correct info. I may have examined 8-10 in my lifetime and this one was very different from all the others. I don't remember any of them having any ...

Hi Mr. Panda,

I am far from an expert on the car guns, but four things stand out, stick out is more like it.
1) the Remington cane guns did not have two parts that screwed together.
2) the ferrule looks like thick, brass, and Rem used thinner sheet metal to make the ferrules.
3) the cane has a ...

Hi bobulillo,

Your English is fine, and it's much better than my Spanish.

What you have is a European copy of the Remington Double Derringer. Since you are in Spain, I will guess that it was made in Spain, as many of them were. It is suspected that copies were also made in Belgium, and maybe ...

Hi Charlie,

You would probably get a better response if you moved this out of the handgun section to the rifle section.

Good luck, and Merry Christmas,
Daniel

Hopefully, someone that knows about animal ivory will jump in and educate us on what animal those might have come from.

Hi Patbar,

You did the hot pin test, so it is some kind of ivory, and I am very far from knowing anything about real ivory, so like you, I'm at a loss at to what the grips may be made of. The inside looks like it might be larger grained than most ivory that I've seen. It looks like wood, and that ...
