Antique European (likely Belgian) copy of a Remington Rolling Block Single-Action Pocket Pistol, NVSN, approx. 11mm/.42 CF cal., 5.5'' round barrel has cannon-turned ring at muzzle, pin front and no rear sights; frame has distinctive thumb-rest atop wrist, integral loop trigger guard and gripstraps with lanyard ring at butt, two-piece checkered varnished hardwood grips and matching Schnabel-nose forend. Condition is very good, the metal surfaces retaining no original finishes but a cleaned gunmetal gray with reddish rust re-forming (mainly on barrel), no markings visible (perhaps obliterated during cleaning); forend with use marks. Grips show checkering wear and a .5'' chip missing at lower-right frame juncture. Action is smooth, bore is clean with scattered pitting and sharp rifling. Est.: $300-$500.
