SCARCE LATE PRODUCTION REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

SN 223. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, pinched post front sight and 1-line right hand “E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION. N.Y. U.S.A.” block letter address. Buttstrap has a factory stud & ring. Mounted with unnumbered, smooth, 2-pc walnut grips. Left rear web of trigger guard is marked “44”. The Model 1875 was produced only from 1875 to 1888 with about 25,000 to 30,000 revolvers made in that time frame. The Model 1875 was produced as a direct competitor for the Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army revolver. Unfortunately for Remington, even though the design was much more convenient for cleaning and cylinder removal, at the time they appeared on the scene Colt was already well established with the Army and civilians alike. No large military contracts were ever awarded to Remington and since Remington was more known for rifles and shotguns, their distribution and advertising were inadequate, and therefore sales were slow. This is apparently a transition model made after Hartley & Graham took over Remington and represents one of the late Model 1875s produced just before the Model 1888. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine, shows very little use, has been fired, but very little. Overall retains 98-99% crisp orig nickel with a few small spots of flaking; cylinder pin retains strong orig blue; screws retain orig blue, a little thin on the heads. Grips are sound showing light wear and retain about all of their orig varnish. Hammer is not solid in half cock notch, otherwise mechanics are fine; bright shiny bore, with a few scattered spots of pitting. 4-50736 JR99 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 1175

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
