UNIQUE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH FLAT TOP STRAP.

SN 60. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, full front sight and 1-line right hand address. Mounted with smooth 2-pc walnut grips numbered to this revolver. Left side of butt strap, under grip, is marked with a small 6-pointed star, the SN, and the letter M. Left rear web of trigger guard is marked “44”. Most unusually, the top strap has been modified to a flat top version leaving a narrow round top band with sight notch. The buttstrap markings are previously unknown to this cataloger but may indicate factory work. Certainly the top strap was modified before it was plated which indicates, with almost certainty that it is factory work. Screws are fire-blued. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Very fine, overall retains about 97-98% crisp factory type nickel finish with slight muzzle edge wear and a spot of pitting on each side of the ejector housing web; screws retain most of their fire blue; grips are sound with light nicks & scratches and retain about 60-65% orig finish; hammer is not solid in safety notch; otherwise mechanics are fine; strong bore with fine pitting. 4-54320 (7,500-9,500) – Lot 3183
