Hello , everyone, I'm looking at a Remington deringer model 95 that is for sale. Guys said it an antique...but I don't know, and don't want it if it not.
To start with it does have the one line address...BUT...from everything that I have been able to find, they where made with the single line before the 1897 cut off.
So let try a couple of things, that I have read( but doesn't mean it right) so I'll ask...
First I've read that the little peep shooter used batch number..not serial numbers..not until later dates 1917'ish? Anyways
Two things that make me go..maybe..
One I read off the Colt site in the US, that if the address line is missing the period after the N.Y then it way produced between 1890 and 1899.
Second and the one I can't figure out is the numbers stamped under the barrel and under the left side grip. Well according to everything I've read...don't exist?
It either..01, or 10...or maybe an I0, or the 0I...( depend on which way you read it)and according to everything I've read..they never used , wouldn't use the 0 or 1..or I...for stamping on these model..lol so what gives?
The best way..but probably not right..is this..
Single line on top of the barrel, missing the period at the end of the line ( newer models had the period stamped in after the Y. For N.Y. and the number stamped would put it at an early production number..either 10..or..I 0...or lol you see the problem. It's not a shootable piece, broken hinge on one side..just one I want to have, just to have one, in the collection.
And yes I've heard..but don't really know, for sure,that the RCMP' s will not except a single line as a pre 1897 antique pistol.
So any help..please.
Cheers
