Lovely Remington Model 95 Double Deringer
serial #733, 41 RF, 3'' barrels with bright near-excellent bores showing light frosting in the bottom and a few mild pits in the top with strong rifling in both. The metal surfaces of this deringer retain 99% original nickel finish showing some intermittent bubbling most noticeably around the grips, pins, and high edges, with minimal handling wear and a few small flecks of loss nearer the muzzle on the right side. The hammer, trigger, lever, and extractor have begun to tone to a smoky gunmetal retaining lots of handsome fire blue, strongest on the lever, sides of the hammer, and flat plane of the extractor. The smooth factory mother-of-pearl grips remain excellent, with three small checks running out from the screw escutcheon on the right panel and a generally shy fit throughout both panels, but with minimal handling wear. The gun locks up tightly and appears to function well mechanically, with the hinge remaining robust, the extractor functioning smoothly, and the barrel displaying a later ''long-line'' address. A lovely and high-condition double deringer. (26A10826-172) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1200/1800)
