RARE FACTORY ENGRAVED REMINGTON SMOOT NO.1 WITH REVOLVING RECOIL SHIELD.

SN 44. Cal. 30 RF. Rare Remington with 2-13/16″ ribbed oct bbl, German silver half moon front sight and 1-line address. Mounted with smooth 2-pc pearl grips. Accompanied by a period red velvet lined mahogany case, compartmented in the bottom for the revolver and space for a box of ammunition (no ammunition included). Revolver is engraved in New York style with foliate arabesque patterns that has very fine stippled background. Engraving consists of about full coverage on sides of the frame with light patterns on side flats of bbl and back strap. Cylinder has matching engraving on the lands between the flutes with a leaf & vine pattern around the rear edge. There were about 3,000 of these little revolvers produced in the period 1875-1877. Of that number only an estimated 650 were made with the revolving recoil shield. Of that very small number extremely few were engraved making this one of the most rare of Remington revolvers. The design of this revolver is most unusual in that the bbl & upper frame are one solid piece with an integral ejector on right side of bbl. These little revolvers were very popular with ladies as muff pistol and gentlemen as concealed pocket pistols. They are rarely found today with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Good to very good. Overall is a cleaned gray metal patina with some very minor, fine pinprick pitting. Grips are sound with great fire. Mechanics are fine, worn dark bore. Case is sound with some fine crackling in the surface finish and retains most of its orig varnish. Interior is lightly soiled with strong bright color. 4-56437 JR131 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1133
