This is a nice example of the famous Model 1858 Remington Army Revolver. This is a percussion, six-shot, .44 caliber revolver with an 8” octagonal barrel. The maker’s stamp, “PATENTED SEPT. 14 1858 / E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION NEWYORK. U.S.A. / NEW-MODEL”, remains on the top flat of the barrel.  Bore is bright and clean with good rifling. Approximately 122,000 of these were manufactured between the years 1863-1873. This particular pistol is serial numbered 90384. That number appears under the barrel and on the back of the cylinder. The actions of both the hammer pull and cylinder are crisp and strong. Cylinder is unmarked and features safety notches between cones. All of the percussion nipples are present and in good order. All gun metal wears a matching dark patina with considerable blue remaining. A few small dings are on the frame between the loading lever and the cylinder. Brass trigger guard shows nice patina.

Walnut grips are original and in good condition with a cartouche on the left grip. There are some dings and dents on the butt; common since most pistols seemed to be used as hammers at some point in their life time.  Overall this is a very nice example of a Civil War-era Army revolver.   [jet]
