SCARCE REMINGTON MODEL 1871 ROLLING BLOCK ARMY PISTOL.

SN 3077. Cal 50 CF. Fine Remington rolling block pistol with 8″ rnd bbl, pinched blade front sight and V-notch rear sight integral with the breech block. Frame, trigger guard and grip straps are color case hardened. Breech block and hammer are finished bright. Screws are bright fire blue, as is the trigger. Breech block and hammer pins are straw colored. Mounted with uncheckered 1-pc walnut grip matching numbered to this pistol and a tiny forearm. Left side of grip has a crisp “CRS” military inspection cartouche. About 6,000 of these pistols were produced 1872-1888. They were mostly issued and saw hard service and are rarely found today in orig configuration or with any orig finish. Large numbers of these pistols were altered or “customized” by ensuing generations of target shooters which has further reduced the numbers of orig specimens available. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus. Bbl retains about 98-99% bright orig blue with one small scratch. Frame and backstrap retain strong, bright case colors, moderately faded on the right side. Trigger guard retains brilliant case colors in sheltered areas, moderately faded on front strap and trigger bow. Breech block and hammer pins retain most of their orig straw colors and the trigger about all of its bright fire blue. Screws also retain about all of their bright fire blue. Grip has a couple of chips and ding s with some battering on the butt, otherwise wood is sound with a smooth, orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp. Brilliant shiny bore. 4-56335 JR183 (3,500-5,000) – Lot 1174
