FINE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION ARMY FRONTIER REVOLVER.

FINE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION ARMY FRONTIER REVOLVER. SN 599. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, full blade front sight and 1-line “E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y. U.S.A.” address. Left upper front side of frame is stamped “44”. Mounted with very nicely figured varnished 2-pc walnut grips matching numbered in pencil on inside. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms only about 25,000-30,000 of these fine revolvers were produced in the period 1875-1889. Remington single actions were certainly the equal of the Colt Single Action Army and were much more convenient to remove the cyls for cleaning. Unfortunately for Remington they were about two years too late in getting this revolver to market for by that time the Colt Single Action was well established with the U.S. Army and in great demand on the civilian market. Remington’s distribution system simply could not catch up with Colt. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. Overall retains 95-96% strong orig nickel with some minor nicks & scratches and light flaking on hammer nose and around forcing cone area along with front face of cylinder. Grips have a gouge in left bottom edge with light nicks & scratches elsewhere and moderate wear on sharp edges and overall retain most of their orig varnish. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine. Strong bright bore with scattered fine pitting. 4-36687 JR28 (6,000-8,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2012
