The following are all classified as Antique by ATF and therefore do not require FFL for transfer. Sales MUST take place in Mesquite or buyer can pay shipping/FFL fees. No returns on shipped items and no warranty is offered (I am not a dealer nor a gunsmith!) NO TRADES!


Remington-Rider Double Action Pocket Revolver (Cartridge Variation).

$1950

These were made between 1860-1870, making it an antique and no FFL required.

This thing looks so nice it appears to be a repro or commemorative, but so far I haven't been able to find that REMINGTON they ever made a repro.

I would grade this at least 90-95%

Added scarce Stevens early tip up. Here's an AI overview that I believe to be correct.

Stevens Large Frame Tip up, likely 41 cal Estimated date based on rollmark is 1864-1886.

"J. Stevens & Co. Tip-Up Convertible Pocket Rifle
Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts — Patent Sept. 6, 1864
Serial No. 32XX

Early-production large-frame Stevens tip-up pistol designed to accept a detachable shoulder stock. Features a 6-inch full-octagon barrel chambered for .41 Rimfire, flared “saw-handle” style grip, and spur trigger. Top of barrel marked “J. STEVENS & CO. CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. / PAT. SEPT. 6, 1864.” Frame fitted with stock attachment lug at the rear of the grip. Matching serial numbers on frame and barrel.

This example represents one of the earliest tip-up firearms made by Joshua Stevens’ firm shortly after its founding. These convertible pistols were the direct predecessors of the later Stevens “Pocket Rifle” series.

Condition: Original configuration with matching serials, intact markings, and functional tip-up action. Retains smooth brown patina with minor age mottling; bore shows light wear consistent with age.

Estimated Collector Value (2025 market): $500–$900, depending on finish and mechanical tightness. Examples retaining an original stock or higher finish may exceed $1,200+ at auction."

Antique, no FFL required. This old beast can be yours for $500 cash.

Forehand and Wadsworth or similar 22 Derringer, pivot barrel. I am not sure on the maker so buyer must do their own research if desired.

Probably the smallest derringer made, or one of!

The serial or batch numbers match, but no manufacturer marking, even under the grip that I could find. Appears functional. F&W made these from 1871-1890.
