Eliphalet Remington Sr. dies in 1861. The management of the enterprise was
assumed by Philo. Samuel was charges as contract negotiator and purchasing
agent whereas Eliphalet Jr. assumed the direction of the office.
At the end of the Civil War, when the government stopped all purchases of
arms, the enterprise faced a financial crisis. A company keeping the same
name succeeded the partnership in 1865.
In 1888 Hartley & Graham, New York (organized Union Metallic Cartridge
Company of Brigeport, Connecticut in 1867) took over the company which
becomes Remington Arms Co. in 1888

Vest Pocket Pistol general remarks
Manufactured from 1865 to 1888 and in general the production is estimated at
about 25.000 for all the models. (about 15.000 in .22 and 10.000 in the other calibers)
Sometimes production is estimated at about 85.000 pistols as highest number
reported is serial number 84.575 at a .22 caliber pistol.
Collectors reports 4 or even 5 models. In Remington catalogs only 3 arise.
No trace of a .30 caliber or .38 caliber model. From the .30 caliber model real
peaces are documented non of a .38 caliber model. The .38 caliber seems being be
an error in measuring of .41 caliber models.
Some guns have longer barrels as up to 22 1/2" and attachable skleton shoulder
stock. Called Vest Pocket Wire stocked, Buggy Rifle or Bicycle Rifle. Most likely
this are custom made pistols as no advertising of Remington found for these models.

U.S. Model 1841 rifle "Mississippi Rifle"
In 1845 E. Remington negotiated with the U.S. Army Ordnance Departement to take over a contract for
5.000 U.S. Model 1841 rifles. This contract was given to John Griffith in December 1842 but he failed
to produce the guns. Remington came to an agreement with Griffith to take over his machinery and
tools. This arrangement was approved by the Ordnance Department and he got the contract on September
8, 1845 at $13 peace. Remington was allowed to deliver 1.000 of the 5.000 guns with "cast steel" on which
Remington already experimented by the late 1820. With this gun contract Remington started its
gun manufacturing period. Prior only barrels and metal goods were made by them.
Delivery of these "Mississippi Rifles" started not before April 1850 when 300 items were supplied.
Further lots of 500 items followed every 60 to 90 days. The contract was fulfilled by September 1852.
A further contract for again 5.000 "Mississippi Rifles" were granted to Remington in Noveber 1851 and was
fulfielled by December 1854.
Jenks Navy Carbines
In 1841 William Jenks got a contract for his patented breech loading mule-ear carbines. Jenks subcontracted
the manufacture ot N.P. Ames & Co, Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. It is believed that Ames delivered about
4.250 of these guns. In 1845 Jenks contracted for another 1.000 of his guns but with Maynard's priming mechanism.
Remington contacted Ames and purchased their contract in 1845. The first delivery of thes Jenks carbines
tock place on April 5, 1848 and by September of the same year all 1.000 guns were shipped.
Maynard Tape Priming Lock Contract
Frankford Arsenal got permission to alter 20.000 muskets. On September 9, 1854, Remington received a contract
to manufacture 20.000 percussion locks with Maynard tape primers for $3.15 each. After fabrication workmen
at Frankford Arsenal would convert old U.S. Model 1816 flintlock muskets. These locks were delivered
50 in 1855, 1,500 in 1856, 10.000 in 1857 and 8.450 in 1858.
