REMINGTON MODEL 1875 FLAT TOP TARGET SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 60. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ rnd bbl, slightly altered blade front sight and 1-line address “E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, N.Y. U.S.A.”. Caliber marking “44” is stamped on left rear web of trigger guard. Serial number is in usual place on left side of buttstrap under grip and is preceded by a 6-point star and followed by an “M”. Mounted with 2-pc smooth walnut grips that are stamped with SN inside each grip. Buttstrap shows no evidence of ever having had a lanyard stud. Top of frame is flattened with an integral rounded top, square notch rear sight. The top strap on a standard revolver measures .254″ to .256″. The top strap on this revolver measures .186″ whereas over the sight measures .245″.
