SCARCE REMINGTON MODEL 1890 SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

SN 55. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ rnd bbl, full front sight and 1-line address. Left side of frame is marked “44 C.F.W.”. Butt strap has a replacement stud & ring. Mounted with smooth 2-pc certifiable antique ivory grips probably not orig to this revolver. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms only about 2,020 of these revolvers were produced in the period 1891-1896 in two bbl lengths. The Model 1890 was the successor to the Model 1875/1888 and was Remington’s attempt to establish themselves in the large bore cartridge revolver market. Unfortunately the Model 1875 came on to the market after Colt was well-established with military contracts and with the buying public. Remington was never able to gain traction in the market or generate government contracts. The Models 1888 & 1890 revolvers were no more successful and by 1896 sales had lagged to the point where the Model 1890 was no longer a viable produce and so production ceased. With so few of this model produced it is rare to find one in any condition. Special Note: This item contains or is made of ivory. Do not bid on this lot unless you have read and agreed to our“Ivory Position Statement”and the “Waiver of Legal and Financial Risk to James D. Julia in regards to your Purchase of an Ivory Object”.
