SN 1845. Cal. .44. Blue finish with 8″ oct bbl, dovetailed German silver cone front sight & 2-line address. Mounted with 2-pc smooth walnut grips matching numbered to this revolver. Both grips have clear, legible military inspector cartouches and there are small inspector initials on various parts including frame, bbl, trigger guard and cylinder. Cylinder is unnumbered but is an orig type as would have been issued as a spare cylinder by the Army. According to FLAYDERMAN’S GUIDE TO ANTIQUE AMERICAN FIREARMS, there were a total of about 1900 of these rare revolvers produced in the period 1861-1862, about half of which were sold to the U.S. Army, making this a rather rare & desirable Remington collector’s item. Also according to reference publication, only about 750 of this model revolver delivered to the Army passed inspection. Surviving specimens of this model are rare, especially those in orig configuration with any orig finish. These revolvers & other Remington models were very popular with the military due to their ease of reloading, especially among cavalry troopers who could carry one or more loaded spare cylinders and quickly reload to continue firing. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection; the collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Fine, all matching except cylinder as noted. Bbl retains about 80% glossy orig blue showing light wear and flaking. Frame retains traces of blue in sheltered areas having mostly flaked to a light patina.
