ENGRAVED REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 114470. Cal 44. Silver finish with 8” oct bbl, pinched post front sight and usual 3-line address on top bbl flat. Mounted with smooth, well patinated 2-pc ivory grips. Revolver is engraved in the New York style quite possibly by L.D. Nimschke with about 50% coverage fine foliate arabesque patterns that have fine pearled background. Engraving patterns extend over the side flats of the bbl, down the backstrap with geometric patterns on the buttstrap. Cylinder has full circumference engraving in matching patterns. Lever is engraved in about 2″ matching pattern. Very fine condition and like a handful of martial Colts seen engraved in New York after the war this Remington falls in that same genre as a sub-inspector letters can still be discerned externally on a few parts. Appears orig and authentic in every regard and is a beautiful example of a Civil War issued sidearm being custom engraved possibly by Nimschke circa 1870. There is accompanying notarized letter stating the purported history back to 1934 which is possible, letter should be read in online catalog. PROVENANCE: Larry Larom, Cody, WY. Don Nichols 1968. Lewis Yearout 1990. Estate Collection of Lewis & Leyton Yearout. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, overall retains about all orig silver plating, engraving crisp and well discerned. This gun was not engraved or plated on a brand new gun but was done on a gun that had seen some use as there is light pitting seen under plating especially on bbl but this would be expected as is seen in other New York style engraved guns of Civil War martial pistols. Grips are fine and well fit with numerous small scratches as expected; there is a glued repair internally to left grip such that a new screw escutcheon is retained. Right grip has a 1″ chip repair and another large sliver chip in same grip near frame as can be seen in photos. Right grip has less patina and may be a replacement or simply was displayed with right side down and not exposed to light. Right grip has an internal scratched marking “DL SPACKMAN 1925”. Mechanics are fine. Strong sharp bore with crisp rifling. 4-53949 JS47 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 3185
