RARE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

RARE REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 1096. Cal. 45 Colt. Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, pinched post front sight and 1-line left hand Remington address. Left front upper side of frame is stamped “45” and the ejector rod housing has the standard Model 1875 tapered web. Mounted with very nicely figured burl walnut 2-pc grips, pencil numbered “Sanders” inside right grip. Rear face of cyl is stamped in two places, on webs between chambers “45”. Only 25-30,000 Model 1875 revolvers were produced in the period 1875-1889 with only a few of those made in 45 Colt caliber and only a few of those are known today. This is one of the most rare of all Remington revolvers. The Model 1875 is very similar in appearance to the New Model Army Percussion revolver and, like its predecessor, was well-accepted and used across the American frontier. Although a few Models 1875 were purchased by the U.S. Government, large contracts were not forthcoming and although the 1875 was equally convenient to load & reload as compared to the Colt Single Action Army, they never received the wide distribution of the Colt and therefore were not a profitable line for Remington which soon discontinued production. The majority of all Models 1875 saw hard use on the frontier and are today rarely found in high orig finish. PROVENANCE: Don Ware Collection; E.J. “Ted” Bell Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Overall retains about 98% strong, bright orig factory nickel with only slight muzzle edge wear and one small spot on left recoil shield. Cyl is equally strong with only faint drag line. Grips have a chipped left toe, otherwise are completely sound showing moderate to heavy wear with light handling & use nicks & scratches and retain about 50-60% orig varnish with hand worn patina. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with scattered fine pitting. 4-41718 JR225 (12,500-17,500)
