This is an excellent 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 visible on the top flat of the barrel.  This particular pistol is serial numbered 88797. That number appears under the barrel, on the back face of the cylinder, on the frame under the grips, and is penciled on inside of grips. A few of the other parts have small sub-inspector’s stamps.

Mechanics are perfect.  Cylinder features safety notches between cones.  All of the percussion nipples are present and in good order. Bore is clear with good rifling and just some light oxidation at the cylinder end. Gun metal retains much of its original, although thinning, blue finish. Brass trigger guard shows mellow patina.

Walnut grips are original and in very good condition with a nice cartouche on the left grip.

This is a very fine example of a popular Civil War-era Army revolver.   [jet][ph:L]
