RARE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 EGYPTIAN CONTRACT SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

RARE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 EGYPTIAN CONTRACT SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 635. Cal. 44 Rem. Blue finish with 7-1/2″ rnd bbl, pinched post front sight and “E. REMINGTON & SONS ILION N.Y. U.S.A.” address. Left upper front side of frame & outside rear edge of cylinder are stamped with a small “R” and the bbl with a small 5-pointed star on left side at the frame. These marks are indicative of the Egyptian contract. Mounted with 2-pc walnut grips numbered in pencil inside each grip. Butt strap is mounted with a lanyard stud & ring. This revolver is one of the 10,000 pieces contracted from Remington by the Egyptian government which, to date, have proven very elusive, scarce and hard to find. It is believed, perhaps, that given the fact that Egypt was in arrears in payments of previous contracts with Remington that it is likely only a few of these pieces were produced and therefore leading to their extreme scarcity. This is believed to be the finest Egyptian contract Model 1875 Remington extant. PROVENANCE: Baldwin Collection. CONDITION: Very fine with matching grips. Bbl & web retain most of their orig factory blue, somewhat thinned on bbl, stronger in sheltered areas, strong & bright on the web. Frame retains traces of orig blue, having flaked, not worn to a medium blue/brown patina. Trigger guard retains most of its strong orig blue. Hammer retains about all of its brilliant case colors, somewhat thinned on left side from contact with the frame. Front & back straps are a gray patina. Grips are sound showing light wear and retain most of their orig oil finish. Safety notch is missing from hammer, otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-37686 JR162 (7,500-12,500)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2009

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
