Two Model 95 Remington Derringers

[castile]

I have a question. I won this lot of two derringers Remington Model 95 at an estate auction. One is in fair condition with grips and no broken ears. It works as intended no broken springs or other. Firing pin is good. The other has no grips, but its all working. The hammer cocks, and drops fine, Trigger and lever release works fine. But has one Broken ear. Finish not so good. This is either a display or parts gun IMO. The action opens fine and closes and locks up fine but its broken ear makes it to me a parts gun or for a display item. I would like to get $400 for the pair. I have the one with grips on GB but I am not sure if I should run them as one lot, sell the in tact gun and the other break down and sell the parts, or sell them as they are separately. I checked Numrich and all their 95 parts are out of stock. I would think that there would be at least a few people actively looking for parts. Thanks for any help.

Is there a source for .41 Rimfire ammo?

Yes there are a few company's who make it. It is expensive. I would not shoot it. Just like antique Colt Revolvers.

I wondered about the ammo, too. However, having been manufactured for 70 years there must be someone out there wanting parts who has tried through Numrich et alia. I'd try to sell them as a package first without going through Numrich.

I might keep them for a framed display, using one of the grips on one, the other on the other one, with a little well-presented printed blurb on the gun's history a la a museum-like item. Over the fireplace it would be very commentworthy with a snifter of brandy in one hand.

Especially if you could cadge a pair of .41 RF cahttiges from somewhere to mount with them.

That would make a great display.
