RARE REMINGTON ENGRAVED MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 387. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 7-1/2″ rnd bbl, pinched blade front sight & “E. REMINGTON & SONS” reading from frame to muzzle bbl address. Mounted with fine smooth old ivory grips.

Cylinder is engraved to match with a fine border at rear edge. There is no indication as to who engraver was but it is very high quality New York style engraving. Very few of these Remingtons were engraved & therefore are considered to be quite rare. Butt strap has a swivel stud that has been cut prior to nickel plating indicating that the plating was applied post-manufacture which is normal with most engraved Remington arms as it is not believed that they employed in-house engravers. CONDITION: Very fine. Overall retains most of a strong orig nickel with some scattered pin pricks of pitting. Cylinder has a couple of spots of flaking in flutes. Grips show great age with numerous age lines and retain a wonderful mellow dark yellow, ivory color. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with moderate pitting. 4-35116 JR105 (6,000-10,000)
