SCARCE REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY CONVERSION REVOLVER. Cal. 45 Colt CF. SN 84632. Blued finish with 8” oct bbl with three line bbl markings, pinched front sight, 2-pc walnut grips with cartouche. These revolvers are said to have been converted to cartridge by Osgood Gun Shop, Bangor, Maine around the turn of the century. The serial number on the cyl, conversion plate, & loading gate is “846”. These will be found in 44 & 45 caliber and were converted by adding a recoil plate with a loading gate and providing a new cyl. An extra long firing pin was added to the hammer to search through the recoil plate. Basic revolvers were most likely purchased from the government at auction after the Civil War. Another example of this revolver was found in the 1980 Mouldenhauer Auction. CONDITION: Good. 30% blue on bbl, frame, & loading lever. Conversion plate & cyl have a gray patina with light pitting. Grips have numerous small dents on the right side and are missing chips at the base. Bore is lightly pitted, action is fine. 4-59479 JH48 (1,500-2,000)
