OUTSTANDING MARTIALLY MARKED REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 122505. Cal. .44. Blue finish with 8″ oct bbl, pinched post front sight & 3-line address. Trigger guard is unplated brass and it is mounted with 2-pc walnut grips that have crisp, clear cartouches on each side. Grips have number “899” in pencil inside each grip. This model revolver was produced in large quantities 1863-1875 and was one of the most popular sidearms throughout the Civil War and later 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+, all matching except grips as noted. Overall retains 96-98% glossy orig blue with only light sharp edge wear & a few small freckles on cyl. Hammer retains about all of its strong orig case colors, faded on top edge. Grips have a few chips, nicks & dings, and retain most of their orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, probably unfired. 4-56537 JR115 (4,000-7,000) – Lot 1088
