Scarce Remington 95 Double Deringer
serial #L99527, 41 RF, 3'' barrels with bright excellent bores. This late-production deringe retains 97% original matte blue, showing scattered light handling wear and high-edge silvering with most of the loss focused along the flanks of the barrels showing a mix of bright gray and light oxidation staining. The distinctive grooved hammer retains nearly all of its original finish and shows fine oxidation staining in the grooves, and the locking lever shows a gradient of gunmetal into rich original blue. The checkered hard rubber grips remain excellent overall showing minimal handling wear and slightly shy fit in a few areas. The barrel rib is marked ''REMINGTON ARMS--U.M.C. CO. ILION.N.Y.'', and a crisp arrow and anchor proof are present underneath the locking lever. The gun locks up tightly and the hinge remains intact. Late-production ''Type III'' or ''Model No. 4'' examples bearing distinctive ''monoblock'' barrel markings are estimated at no more than 500 units produced, making this high-condition deringer a nice find for the Remington collector. (26A10826-168) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (800/1200)
