FINE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

FINE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 467. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Blue finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, German silver front sight and pinched groove rear sight on top strap. Bbl has usual address and frame has “44” stamped on its upper left front side. Mounted with 2-pc smooth walnut grips pencil numbered to this revolver on the inside. This revolver, although very successful, saw only limited production due to the fact that the Colt Single Action Army revolver had a 2-year head start in distribution and government contracts. There were only 25,000-30,000 of these fine revolvers produced in the period 1875-1889. Most saw heavy service on the Western frontier and are rarely ever found with much orig finish. CONDITION: Very fine. Overall retains 80-85% strong orig factory blue with muzzle & sharp edge wear and some cleaned areas on right side of frame & cylinder. Most of finish losses are on the left recoil shield, front & back straps and trigger bow which are mostly a blue/gray patina. Balance of revolver has deep strong factory blue. Hammer retains most of its orig strong case colors, slightly faded. Loading gate spring appears to have collapsed and needs replacing. Grips are sound showing very light wear and retain most of their fine orig varnish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of pitting. Altogether a scarce Remington in condition not usually found. 4-35272 JR192 (15,000-20,000)
