Remington was one of the principal cavalry sidearms of the Civil War and the dominant one in U.S. purchases starting in 1864. This Remington New Model Army .44 Caliber Revolver is serial numbered 84734, dating it (approximately) to mid-1864 production. The pistol rates very good for condition, showing mostly gun metal gray with a few darker gray age stains. There are a very few, small light dings on the barrel edges, cylinder and most notably on both sides of the cylinder pin. It has all original parts, clear barrel address and serial number. The grips are in excellent condition but, missing any inspector’s cartouches. The grips have good edges and fit to the metal, good color and surface, and a visible “R” and “B” sub-inspector marks on the bottom flats.

The serial number 84734 is sharp on the underside of the barrel and the barrel address on top is correct and crisp: “PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858 / E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, NEW YORK, U.S.A. / NEW-MODEL.” Small, single letter factory inspection marks are visible on parts. A “W” on the rear of the cylinder, left frame, trigger guard and both sides of the rear barrel. A small “F” on the left side of the loading lever. The backstrap is mostly brown. Action is very tight and lock-up is perfect.

This pistol was made in time for use in some of the final, climactic campaigns of the war and would be a nice addition to a cavalry display. Remington became the dominant supplier of pistols to the army in 1864. His guns were robust and respected. Public relations dictated that Colt blame a factory fire for falling behind Remington in supplying the army but, the company had always played fast, loose, and aggressively in pricing. By 1864 the U.S. Ordnance Department was happy to give their money to someone else for a while, mainly Starr and Remington by that point.

From the former Old Stone House Museum Collection, with blue tag #SHM P-6 in place on the barrel. Comes with inventory card listing a value of $200 in 1973. [stp] [ph:L]
