SCARCE MARTIALLY MARKED REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 91213. Cal. .44. Blue finish with 8″ oct bbl, pinched post front sight & 3-line address. Trigger guard is unplated brass and is mounted with 2-pc walnut grips that has a crisp, clear cartouche on left side. Grips are matching numbered to this revolver. There are small inspector initials over various parts including frame, bbl, cyl, trigger guard and bottom edges of grips. Frame has SN “91213” & bbl has SN “91523”. This model revolver was produced in large quantities 1863-1875 and was one of the most popular sidearms throughout the Civil War and on the American frontier for its large caliber and ease of reloading, especially with mounted troops. A trooper could carry one or more charged cylinders and quickly exchange it for one that had been fired. These revolvers remained in service with the Army, and especially the Cavalry, until the military adopted the Colt Single Action Army revolver in 1873. Even after that, the Remington Army remained in service for several more years until the Colt had been completely distributed. It is well documented that Custer’s 7th Cavalry carried the Remington New Model Army until 1875/76 as did the 2nd & 10th Cavalry Regiments, all of which were engaged continuously in fighting Indians on the American frontier. Revolvers of this model are rarely found today with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl retains 95-97% strong orig blue with some light dulling & scratches. Frame retains 75-80% glossy orig blue with the majority of losses on right side, flaked not worn to a dark patina. Rammer retains about 97% orig blue. Hammer retains virtually all of its orig case colors. Cyl retains about 95-96% glossy orig blue with virtually all of its orig blue in the chambers. Grips are sound with only minor bruise on right side & overall retain virtually all of their orig oil finish. Back strap is blue-grey patina. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, probably unfired. 4-56310 JR117 (5,000-8,000) – Lot 1087
