Hi again, I need some help on idenity of some derringers. I have an engraved Remington derringer, with pearl grips. It does have a number on bottom of barrel (798). I also have one that is not engraved with ivory grips, no. 1220. I would like to know what model they are, when made and some ideas on value if that is possible. I have included some pictures, and have more on Photo Bucket. Thanks for any help....Mark
Also I have a topic on the Colt derringer, looking for similar info...thanks if you can help. Here is the link to photo-bucket:

  A widow in my church is wanting to sell her husband's guns to help pay funeral expenses. I took some of the guns to a local shop for appraisal. Among them was a Remington Derringer, nickel plated in 41 Rimfire. The dealer believes that the gun is a Type 4 and valued at a max of $1250. I can only find the number "94" on the little gun. Can anyone give me some help on this one? I really want to help the lady out if possible.

  At point blank range a bullet would just bury itself flu

  I had one years ago with the same problem. A body and fender man brazed it with the materials of the '50s but it didn't hold. Todays' MIG and TIG equipment or high strength brazing materials in the hands if an expert might get it going. The one I had, shot a boxful of new production ammo made up for P.J. Medicus of NYC at about that time. I believe the cases were marked with the letter M. The bullet would just bury itself flush in a tree trunk but was enough to kill a goose (by drowning) and provide dinner for a couple of boys on a hunting trip.
  Subsequent to that small run of 41short RF, there was at least one more run of modern ammo produced. The name Navy Arms comes to mind.

  I have one in my collection and have shot it quite a few times. I got the ammo from Navy arms about 20 years ago. It was a little pricy but I bought enough to be able to show it off to the grandkids once in awhile. My 2 cents.

  I have two Remington .41 derringers. Hinge breakage on them is very common. I have one that was repaired by brazing back in the 1920s, inherited. Brazing makes a serviceable but ugly repair. Have another not broken. On my to-do list is to repair the hinge by making a new 'receiver side' of the hinge, cut out the brazed part and mig weld the new hinge part in place. If successful my repair should not look 'repaired'. Probable cost will out-weigh the value of the gun. Some months ago I bought a box of new production .41RF from local gunshop. Will check out and report maker and any other info, maybe later today. Antique gun restoration is what I do.
