Only around 6,000 Army Model 1871 Rolling Block pistols were manufactured by Remington in the 1870s and 1880s. Of those, approximately 5,000 were sold to the U.S. Army. This example has no martial markings suggesting it was sold on the commercial market. "479" on the upper tang and grip, "1276" on both tangs, and "3" on the barrel and forend.

Fine overall with original finish, dark patina, light oxidation, and general mild wear, including some scratches and dings on the wood. Firing pin absent; otherwise, mechanically fine.
