RARE ENGRAVED PRESENTATION QUALITY REMINGTON MODEL 1865 NAVY SINGLE SHOT ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL.

RARE ENGRAVED PRESENTATION QUALITY REMINGTON MODEL 1865 NAVY SINGLE SHOT ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL. SN 2. Cal. 50 RF. Fine single shot pistol with 8-1/2″ rnd bbl, pinched post front sight with rear sight in top edge of breech block. Top of bbl, over chamber area is stamped with a small anchor. Frame is nicely engraved in New York style with foliate arabesque patterns and a lightly stippled background with zig zag border around both sides. Backstrap is engraved to match and the trigger sheath has matching border on both sides. Breech block & hammer are straw colored metal and it is mounted with smooth dark rosewood 1-pc grip and tiny forearm. SN was observed on bottom of bbl and left side of rear grip strap under the grip and inside bbl channel of the forearm and front strap channel of the grip. Given the extremely low SN it is probably that this pistol was a presentation to a high ranking official or Naval officer. An identical pistol, Serial Number 1, is being sold elsewhere in this auction. Mr. Howard, in his collection record, states that this pistol and its consecutive numbered mate are pictured on pp 150-151 of Remington Rolling Block Pistols, Landskron. PROVENANCE: Eric Vaule; Robert Howard Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching including grip & forearm. Bbl retains about 75% thin orig blue, stronger in sheltered areas; frame & grip frame retain most of their orig case colors, moderately to heavily faded, stronger in sheltered areas; grip has a chip at the heel with a few nicks & scratches, otherwise wood is sound and retains strong orig varnish with a hand worn patina. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with scattered fine pitting. 4-45219 JR228 (4,000-8,000)
