Collector's interest
Remington pinfire revolvers are much rarer than later rimfire or centerfire models. They represent a short but crucial phase in American industrial history, making them highly prized by collectors specializing in transitional firearms and 19th-century North American weaponry.
Comparable sales of small-caliber (7–9 mm) pinfire revolvers, including similar American and Belgian-French models, regularly fall within a medium to upper range, depending on the condition and authenticity of the manufacturer.
