EARLY REMINGTON-RIDER DA NEW MODEL FLUTED CYLINDER PERCUSSION BELT REVOLVER.

SN 844. Cal. .36. One of only a few hundred produced in 1863 with 6-1/2″ oct bbl and dovetailed silver cone front sight. Cyl is full fluted. Trigger guard is brass and it is mounted with smooth, 2-pc walnut grips matching numbered to this revolver. Bottom edge of right grip has hand-scratched initials “WWK”. The double action belt model revolver is one of Remington’s smaller production runs with the fluted cyl examples only found among the earliest produced 1863-1865. These revolvers would have seen continuous service throughout the Civil War and later on the American Frontier. Remington revolvers were very popular with troops for their ease of cyl change. A trooper could carry loaded spare cylinders and quickly exchange for an empty cyl without having to go through the arduous process of reloading individual chambers. The fact that it is also double action enhanced its operational capabilities. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine, all matching including bbl, cyl & grips. Bbl retains about 50% glossy orig blue with balance mostly flaked to a medium patina with small wear spot on top flat. Rammer retains about 40% blue with balance flaked to a dark patina. Frame retains traces of blue in sheltered areas having flaked to a dark patina with some minor pitting on left side. Cyl retains about 70% orig blue, strong in the flutes, thinner on outer diameter. Trigger retains strong, orig fire blue. Hammer shows bright case colors, turned dark on top edge. Grips have a few small nicks & show light wear, retaining most of their orig varnish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with few scattered spots of pitting. 4-56450 JR108 (3,500-5,000) – Lot 1096
