This model is one of Remington’s lowest production with only an estimated 2500-3000 produced in the period 1865-1873. These revolvers were popular with the military and civilians alike for their accuracy and ease of reloading. Loaded spare cylinders could be carried and quickly exchanged for fired cylinders which greatly enhanced the owner’s fire power. Very few have survived with both cylinders.
