SCARCE CASED ENGRAVED REMINGTON NEW MODEL POLICE CONVERSION REVOLVER WITH SPARE PERCUSSION CYLINDER. SN 1875. Cal. 36 Perc & 38 RF. Nickel finish with 4-1/2″ oct bbl, half moon front sight and 3-line address with the last patent date “1858”. Mounted with 2-pc smooth ivory grips pencil numbered on the inside, matching to this revolver. Revolver is engraved in New York style, probably from the L.D. Nimschke shop in foliate arabesque patterns with punch dot background. Top strap is engraved with feather patterns and there is a large foliate spray over top of bbl lug. Bbl is engraved in a variety of patterns and the web of the rammer handle is engraved in foliate arabesque patterns. Top of backstrap is engraved in a sunburst pattern with geometric patterns on backstrap & buttstrap. Cylinders are engraved to match with a band of foliate arabesque patterns. Accompanied by an orig Remington red velvet lined mahogany casing, compartmented in bottom for the revolver, a dbl sided spread-winged eagle flask with American shield in foreground and clutching a ribbon embossed “E PLURIBUS UNUM”. Also accompanied by a Remington blued steel 2-cavity bullet & ball mold with sprue cutter and a brass can of Goldmarks caps. These little revolvers were originally produced during the Civil War and were readily accepted by both Union & Confederate troops with the later conversion to self-contained cartridge. They usually saw hard frontier service under adverse conditions with limited or no maintenance. They are rarely found cased & engraved and even more rare to find them with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: Dick Littlefield (1987); Robert Howard Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine plus. Overall retains most of a strong orig factory nickel with the only losses around the forcing cone area and face of the conversion cylinder. Grips have numerous age lines but are sound with a wonderful mellow ivory patina. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with scattered fine pitting. Case has a grain check in the lid, otherwise is sound with usual handling & storage marks and retains most of its orig varnish. Interior is lightly faded in the lid, moderately faded in bottom with moderate soil. Mold appears to be new & unused; flask, probably an old replacement, is a dark mustard patina; cap tin is fine. 4-45373 JR61 (5,000-8,000)
