REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

SN 514. 44-40 Cal. Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, full front sight and “E.REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, N.Y. U.S.A.” address. Rear left side of trigger guard web is stamped “44″, which indicates the 44 WCF caliber. Mounted with smooth 2-pc walnut grips, matching penciled numbered to this revolver. Remington single actions in fine condition are quite scarce as most of production went outside this country and the few that stayed saw hard use much like Colt single actions of the same era. Retains most of its orig nickel finish. Inside ejector housing is scratched “ED TILTON”. Right stock internally is also scratched with the initials “ET” along with two other sets of initials, (PFW&JWB). This gun was purchased in 1993 from Robert Tilton of Center, MT and according to Lewis Yearout’s notes this gun has family history (not found). Regardless of history this is a fine example of a scarcely encountered cowboy era revolver made about 1875-76. PROVENANCE: Robert Tilton, Center, MT. Lewis Yearout 1993. Estate Collection of Lewis & Leyton Yearout. CONDITION: Very fine, overall retains about all its orig nickel with minor scratches, nicks, dents, staining and other small blemishes. Pin prick pitting on loading gate. Stocks are sound, solid and well fit with hand rubbed patina. Penciled SNs 514 are found internally on each grip though obscured partially by soiling and carved initials. SN 514 also found on loading gate and grip frame. 4-53938 JS54 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3184
