This is a good example of the famous Model 1858 Remington Army Revolver. Approximately 122,000 of these were manufactured between the years 1863-1873.

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 only partially visible on the top flat of the barrel.  This particular pistol is serial numbered 88437. That number appears under the barrel and on the back of the cylinder. Some other parts have small sub-inspector’s stamps.

Mechanics are strong.  Cylinder features safety notches between cones.  All of the percussion nipples are present and show light wear.  Gun metal is a dark gray color overall with some smudges of brown here and there. Brass trigger guard has dark, slightly reddish patina.

Wood grips are replacements, but display very well.

Overall, this is a fine working example of a well-used Civil War-era Army revolver.   [jet] [ph:L]
