Identification deringer model 95?

Post by John NL »

Hello,

Just purchased of which I thought it would be a Remington 95 deringer in .41RF

No extractor on this one and because it is pretty worn no inscriptions readable also. Can you help me identify which model it is?[

It's a foreign made copy I would guess made in Belgium

I've seen many of these copies, and they were generally Mexican Than Belgian. Belgian guns can immediately be identified by the proof mark "ELG" inscribed in an oval and Mexican guns don't have any proof mark.

Hi John,

Just to give some clarification on the model number. Before 1921, Remington guns didn't have a model number. In 1922, Remington give all guns a model number. The Double Derringer was just called that before 1922. Double Derringers made in and after 1922 were called the Model 95, but only those guns made in 1922 or later.
