REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 699. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, full front sight with 1-line Remington marking on top. Caliber is stamped on left rear web of trigger guard and it is fitted with 2-pc smooth walnut grips. Right grip has a crude carved “CT” on inside. This revolver was Remington’s attempt to compete with the Colt single action Army revolver. The ejector rod housing is stronger & sturdier than the Colt and in silhouette is the same shape has their old familiar new Model 1858 percussion revolver. The cylinder pin is smaller diameter than the Colt but substantially easier to remove having only a thumb nail spring catch in the tip vs. the screw that secured the Colt. Unfortunately for Remington they were late on the scene and Colt had already secured the military market which reduced Remington’s exposure. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & ejector rod housing retain 95-97% strong orig nickel with one minor flaked area on web. Frame & cylinder retain about 95% strong orig nickel with light flaking on the frame and a drag line & flaking on cylinder. Grips are sound showing moderate wear and retain 93-95% orig varnish. Hammer does not have a safety notch and firing pin has been repaired, otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of light pitting. 4-31779 (6,500-8,500)
