SCARCE ENGRAVED PRESENTATION QUALITY REMINGTON MODEL 1865 ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL.

SCARCE ENGRAVED PRESENTATION QUALITY REMINGTON MODEL 1865 ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL. SN 1. 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 and it is mounted with smooth dark rosewood 1-pc grip and tiny forearm. Grip has a repair and an added rosewood buttcap. Given the extremely low SN it is probable that this pistol was a presentation to a high ranking official or Naval officer. Another identical pistol, Serial Number 2, is being sold elsewhere in this auction. Mr. Howard, in his collection record, states that this pistol and its consecutive numbered mate, were pictured on pp 150-151 of Remington Rolling Block Pistols, Landskron. PROVENANCE: Jackson Arms; Robert Howard Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains about 97-98% strong orig blue; frame & grip frame retain most of their orig case colors, moderately to heavily faded, stronger in sheltered areas; grip has a pinned repaired crack down center and retains most of a fine hand worn patina; forearm is sound with a fine smooth patina; mechanics are crisp; brilliant shiny bore. 4-45221 JR269 (4,000-8,000)
