SPECTACULAR REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.SN 93211. Cal. 44. This was the second most popular Union sidearm during the Civil War and this is no doubt among the very finest examples to have survived. Blue finish with 8″ oct bbl, pinched post front sight with brass trigger guard and 2-pc walnut grips that have a crisp cartouche on left side and are pencil numbered to this revolver. Various parts have small inspector initials including the bbl, frame in two places, cylinder & trigger guard. Hammer is case hardened. Although these revolvers were produced in fairly large quantities during the Civil War they were virtually all issued to combat units with distribution throughout the Union Army. These guns are not difficult to find in high surplus condition with 90% plus orig finish, however guns that are virtually mint especially with cyl retaining close to 100% of its orig bright finish is a rarity. If you want the finest example of this popular Civil War issued revolver, this is your opportunity. PROVENANCE: Robert H. Haskell, III Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extraordinarily fine, as new, all matching except cylinder which is properly unnumbered, appears to be unfired. Overall retains 99% plus strong glossy orig factory blue with only very faint sharp edge wear in a couple of places. Cyl has light drag line as can be seen in photos. Hammer retains virtually all of its orig case colors though muted on left side. Grips are crisp and retain virtually all of their orig factory finish with crisp cartouche. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-50194 JS8 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2310
