According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms only about 2,020 of these revolvers were made in the period 1891-96. They were the successor to the Model 1875 and the transition Model 1888 but unfortunately for Remington were in direct competition with the Colt Single Action which had a head start in distribution and military contracts, putting Remington at a severe disadvantage and thereby limiting their sales which caused them to cease production.

Grips have a few minor chips and a repaired right heel with fill in the bottom by the grip pin hole.
