REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY CONVERSION REVOLVER.

REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY CONVERSION REVOLVER. Cal. 46 RF. SN 124849. Conversion #777. Blued finish, 8” oct bbl with standard three line markings, pinched front sight, brass triggerguard, 2-pc smooth walnut grips with “O.W.A” cartouche on left grip. There is no Rollin White patent marking on cyl. There is a Remington patented cartridge ejector, a typical Remington recoil plate conversion. Frame is marked in large letters “C.A. 385”. Research has not provided consignor with information as to what this marking means. Consignor is inclined to believe that Remington took a contract with the U.S. Army Cavalry for about 400 (has never seen a number over 400) of these revolvers and sold them under the table, so to speak, since the S&W/White patent was still in effect. Consignor thinks this gun design was created shortly after the Civil War to use the Remington Split Breech 46 RF carbine cartridge which was invented at the end of the war. (These revolvers were actually marked 44 cal.) This cartridge chambers perfectly in these 46 caliber conversions. A newly found 1872 orig Remington catalogue confirms that these conversions were offered in 46RF Short, 46RF long (46RF carbine cartridge). Remington Society of America would like to solve the “C.A.” mystery and would appreciate any help. CONDITION: Very good. 40% blue overall mixed with surface rust & light pitting. Grips show light wear & some dents. Bore is bright but lightly pitted. Mechanically fine. 4-59327 JH133 (1,600-2,700)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2006

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
