Remington Parlor Pistol
Nancy's blog has an interesting article about the Remington Rider Parlor pistol.

I find the design of this little pistol very appealing.

Yes, Italian Davide Pedersoli makes excellent replica of this little pistol, sold as indoor practice gun.
Interestingly, since they rely on only the percussion cap for propulsion, these are classified as “non-firearms” in Canada and require no license to own and possess. On the other hand, reproductions cost $180 CAD.
