Manufactured between 1857-1858, the Beals First Model was Remington's first revolver. The top barrel flat has the standard two-line Beals patent dates ('56 and '57) and the top strap of the frame has the Remington address marking. "201" is marked on the bottom of the barrel, with "391" and "201" on the left of the grip frame, and "391" stamped on the inside of the trigger guard and on the butt of the grip. Includes an eagle pocket powder flask and ramrod tool.

Fine, retains 60% original blue finish with a plum appearance on the frame, scattered flaking and smooth brown patina on the balance, and some scattered patches of light surface oxidation on the cylinder. The grip is very fine with some light handling marks, light age related fading and defined edges. Mechanically excellent. Included accessories are very fine.
