Remington Elliot 1860s 4 Barrel Derringer Pistol .32 Rimfire ANTIQUE NO PERMIT REQUIRED

The Remington Elliot 1860s 4 Barrel Derringer Pistol .32 Rimfire is an American-made antique firearm notable for its unique design and historical context. Manufactured during the 1860s by Remington, this model is distinguished by its four vertically stacked barrels, each chambered for the .32 rimfire cartridge. The design, attributed to William H. Elliot, sought to maximize firepower in a compact pocket pistol. The pistol employs a rotating firing pin mechanism, allowing each pull of the single-action spur trigger to discharge a different barrel in succession. The frame is constructed from iron with smooth walnut grips, and the ribbed barrels are housed in an over-under double-tier configuration. Intended primarily for personal defense during the post-Civil War period, this pistol represents an innovative approach to multi-shot handguns prior to the widespread popularity of revolvers. As an antique, it is categorized as a collectible and does not require a permit for ownership in many jurisdictions.
