Correction: This gun is a .36 cal. not a .46 cal as stated in the catalog.

This gun is a “Remington New Model NAVY” not an “Army” and is of course .36 cal.

REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY CONVERSION REVOLVER. SN 42843. Cal. 36 RF. Blue finish with 7-1/2″ oct bbl, pinched post front sight and usual 3-line address. Right side of the frame has an attached ejector rod housing and the cylinder pin is single wing. Mounted with smooth 2-pc walnut grips, matching numbered to this revolver. Frame has light flourishes of foliate engraving with snake & dot patterns below the cylinder opening. Right side of the conversion ring has a loading gate. Although this model revolver was produced in fairly large quantities, they were extremely popular throughout the Civil War and later on the American frontier, usually serving under severe conditions with limited or no maintenance and are rarely ever found with high orig finish and almost never encountered with engraving, especially blue finish conversion revolvers. PROVENANCE: Michael Leff Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Probably unfired. Overall retains about 50% thinning orig blue with the balance flaked, not worn to a medium dark patina mixed with fine, light surface rust. Cylinder retains 60-70% glossy orig blue with the balance flaked to a medium dark patina. Trigger guard is a dark mustard patina. Hammer retains about all of its strong case colors. Grips are sound, showing heavy edge wear, a few nicks and scratches and retain about 75% orig varnish. Mechanics are fine, brilliant shiny bore appears to be unfired. 4-49703 (6,500-10,000)
