EXCELLENT CIVIL WAR ERA, REMINGTON NEW MODEL 1858 ARMY REVOLVER

$2,950.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 430-32

This cap and ball percussion handgun is a Civil War era Remington New Model 1858 Army revolver in excellent condition. Remington arms manufactured these sidearms for the military from 1863 to 1875. The New Model Army became the strongest competitor against the Colt Model 1860 revolver during that time. The Union government acquired a total of some 122,000 such New Model revolvers for military use.

This excellent, government-inspected sidearm is an original, martial .44 caliber handgun equipped with a 6-shot round, unrebated cylinder matched to an 8” long octagonal barrel. Screw-on barrel shows its threads visible at the breech end of the frame. Grips are original, two-piece walnut in excellent condition with a handsome, deep government inspector cartouche on the left side grip. The five-digit serial number (#19918 is stamped into the bottom facet of the barrel above the loading lever and on the grip frame.  The low serial number likely indicates manufacture in 1863 or 1864.

This revolver retains some of its original factory bluing including the frame, cylinder, and loading lever. Revolver displays spotty traces of case on the frame. Sidearm features a brass trigger guard, steel backstrap, and the low hammer spur with numerous sub-inspector marks on the weapon. All original nipples. Barrel marking thin and almost gone. Should read, “PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858 / E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, NEW YORK, U.S.A. / NEW MODEL”. Mechanics strong and crisp. This Remington New Model Army revolver is a fine representative sidearm of the Civil War. One was also carried by famous showman William “Buffalo Bill” Cody from 1866 through 1875.
