Description: Very Rare Antique Remington Vest Pocket Pistol No. 1 Item Description:
The Remington Vest Pocket Pistol No. 1 holds a significant place in the history of firearms, as it was one of the earliest pocket-sized handguns produced by the renowned American arms manufacturer Remington. The pistol was designed for discreet personal protection and was chambered in .22 Rimfire, making it suitable for close-quarters self-defense or as a backup weapon during the 19th century.

The sides of the trigger and hammer retain some areas of fire blue and the barrel address and patent remain clear and legible. The smooth rosewood grips remain in very fine condition with some worn original varnish and light handling marks enhancing both its functionality and aesthetics.
