This Type III derringer carries the correct top rib legend "REMINGTON ARMS–U.M.C. CO., ILION, N.Y." and an L-prefix serial sequence associated with the Second Variation’s strengthened hinge. These markers place it squarely in the 1911–1935 Remington-UMC production period.
It uses two superposed 3-inch barrels in a tip-up, hinged assembly with a right-side knurled oval barrel-release latch. A left-side sliding manual extractor sits between the barrels, and the internal selector alternates firing between the upper and lower barrels.
The pistol is chambered in .41 Short Rimfire (obsolete) and operates via a single-action mechanism with a spur trigger. An external hammer with a checkered spur provides positive purchase for cocking.
Ergonomics follow the classic bird’s-head grip frame with black checkered hard-rubber grip panels. Fixed sights include a small front blade and a shallow rear groove, consistent with the model’s compact, micro-size profile.
Overall, this is a United States–made Remington Model 95 Double Derringer that aligns with the desirable Type III, Second Variation configuration and its associated mechanical updates.
