REMINGTON IMPROVED NEW MODEL NAVY CARTRIDGE REVOLVER.

Revised: 3/12/2011

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This gun was originally manufactured by Remington to be a percussion revolver serial number 45066. But before it was assembled the firm made a transition to cartridge revolvers and this was finished as a cartridge revolver. This extremely important and historic Remington is marked with assembly number “1”, meaning that this was the very first cartridge revolver assembled by Remington of this type!!

This is NOT a conversion revolver; it is the first assembled cartridge revolver!!

REMINGTON IMPROVED NEW MODEL NAVY CARTRIDGE REVOLVER. SN 45066. Cal. 38 RF. Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ oct bbl with pinched post front sight and 3-line address containing patent dates of Sept. 14, 1858 and March 17, 1863.

This revolver, although considered a conversion, is in fact a manufactured revolver originally made for cartridges. It is believed that the majority of these revolvers were sold to the B.

Few of these revolvers survive today with much orig finish having served on the American frontier under extreme adverse conditions with little or no maintenance. PROVENANCE: E.J. “Ted” Bell Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus, all matching including grips except cyl which is unnumbered. Overall retains virtually all of its crisp orig nickel finish with one small scratch on the loading lever and a couple of very small spots of discoloration on top left side of bbl at the frame. Hammer spring tension screw is battered, otherwise screws are all fine. Right grip has a repaired chip in the toe, otherwise grips are sound with great fire & color. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, probably unfired. 4-41710 JR234 (10,000-15,000)
