Remington 1901 Rolling Block Target Pistol

Post by orpington »

This is for sale and I don't quite know what a fair value is, retail and wholesale. These photos were originally posted under the Remington pre-1899 section as I was unsure if it was an 1891 or 1901 at that time. Only 735 or so produced, but reasonably priced in Flayderman's, surprisingly enough. I posted in this section due to lack of responses in the other section and because it is post-1898.

There were some nice 1891 & 1901 Remington Target Rolling Block pistols in the James Julia Auction today. Does anyone know what they went for? As well as some of the other rare Remingtons?

With all due respect...why is this forum DEAD? Is there that little interest in Remington firearms??? I am on a Smith & Wesson forum, Colt forum, and Winchester forum, and, within 24 hours, a post would receive at least a few responses, if not significantly more! Is there that little interest in Remington firearms.

I will answer my own question. One similar to this one, with a pre-auction estimate of $4,000 to $6,000 sold for, on Sunday, including buyer's premium, for $6,900.

I am interested in Remington firearms. I wish others on this forum actually were, as well. :(

You've hit the nail on the head! There aren't a lot of folks that are really interested in Remingtons. Take a look at the prices between Remington pistols, and the comparable Colt model. The Colts sell for much more, and many times were made in far greater numbers. Just a fact of life for we Remmy people.

For something with very little interest, the one at James Julia brought a healthy price! Obviously, at least some interest out there...

I agree. My interest is in Rolling Block rifles and it is months between posts on the subject. My other firearms interest is pre 1898 Col;t revolvers and I check the Colt forum twice a day and there is usually something to interest me.
This forum I only check about one a week and then there is usually nothing.

Although this is a Remington Model 1901, the frame is pre-1899, and it is considered to be an "antique". This corrects my first post, where it is claimed to be post-1898: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24319
