RARE REMINGTON MODEL 1890 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

RARE REMINGTON MODEL 1890 SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 1639. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Nickel finish with 5-3/4″ bbl, blade front sight and “REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION. N.Y.” address. Left side of frame is marked “44 C.F.W”. Mounted with 2-pc Remington Arms embossed hard rubber grips. Buttstrap has a plugged lanyard stud hole. Only about 2,020 of these rare revolvers were produced in period 1891-1896 making it one of the most rare of all large frame single action cartridge revolvers. As with its predecessor, the Model 1875, Remington simply could not compete with Colt in the handgun business and therefore ceased production in 1896. The Model 1890, like the Model 1875, was popular among its users but apparently distribution was so limited that sales simply could not allow Remington to compete. PROVENANCE: Ted Knee Collection. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Bbl retains about 50% strong orig nickel with left side being mostly cleaned bare metal where several dings were dressed out. Ejector rod housing & frame retain about 95% strong orig nickel with some light flaking on backstrap & buttstrap. Cyl retains 93-95% strong orig nickel with a series of dings around one flute. Grips show heavy wear with a chip and some scratches on right side with both sides turning chocolate. 4-36601 JR260 (5,000-7,000)
