This is a solid 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. Bore is clear with light oxidation and strong rifling. The maker’s stamp, “PATENTED SEPT. 14 1858 / E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION NEWYORK. U.S.A. / NEW-MODEL”, is thin but visible on the top flat of the barrel with the exception of the third line being very weak. This particular pistol is serial numbered 9270. That number appears under the barrel. Most other parts have small sub-inspector’s stamps, even on bottom of grip.
Mechanics are perfect. Cylinder features safety notches between cones. All of the percussion nipples are present and show light wear. Gun metal is semi-bright with light pitting and age spotting overall. There are a few scattered small digs on frame. Brass trigger guard shows mellow patina.
Walnut grips are original and show use; left side with cartouche. Small chip out of corner on right grip.
Overall, this is a decent working example of a well-used Civil War-era Army revolver. [jet][ph:L]
