REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY 1858 PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY 1858 PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 52969. Cal. .44. Blue finish with 8″ oct bbl, pinched post front sight and usual 3-line address. Mounted with 2-pc smooth walnut grips that have a clear crisp cartouche on the left side and are numbered to this revolver in pencil on the inside. Serial number was observed in the usual places on the bottom of the bbl, left side of the buttstrap, under the grip and last four digits on the rear face of the cyl by the star wheel. These revolvers were extremely popular during the Civil War and saw extensive service throughout the War. They were considered to be more accurate and reliable than the Colt 1860 Army due to their solid frame and simplicity of changing cylinders. Troops armed with these revolvers usually carried one or more loaded spare cylinders which they could exchange very quickly and continue firing. PROVENANCE: Charles Radcliffe Collection. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching including cyl and grips. Bbl retains 95-96% strong orig factory blue mixed with some very fine flaking. Rammer handle retains about 50% blue with the balance flaked to a medium patina. Frame retains 60-70% glossy orig blue with the balance flaked to a medium patina. Backstrap is strong with flaked areas, with the front strap and bottom front of the frame a gray metal patina. Hammer retains most of its faded case colors. Cyl retains 92-93% glossy orig blue. Grips are sound with a couple of very minor nicks and scratches and retain most of their orig factory varnish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-39640 JR388 (2,000-3,500)
