VERY FINE CIVIL WAR REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY REVOLVER
|
|
|
Description :
|
Here is an original, Civil War Remington New Model Army .44 caliber percussion revolver. Approximately 122,000 of these were produced between 1863 and 1875. About 90,000 had been manufactured by wars end. This revolver's 50,xxx serial number places it squarely in the wartime production guns. The Remington was the 2nd most carried revolver of the war. With its solid frame and back strap, it was also the strongest, and many thought the Remington to be superior to the Colt. This revolver is in very fine condition with about 75% of its original factory blued finish remaining. There are a few light rust speckles overall. There is a small patch of rust in front of the front sight. Most of the finish wear is on the frame top and on the bottom running along the brass trigger guard. The revolver has excellent mechanics. The chambers are a smooth brown, and the bore is in very fine condition, shiny with strong rifling. The grips are in very fine condition with just a tiny ding or two on the edge of the butt. There is a very nice inspector's cartouche on the left grip. Civil War Remington New Model Army Revolvers are increasingly hard to find in nice condition. Stock no. 28785
