Remington only manufactured approximately 2,000 of these Model 1890 Single Action Army revolvers circa 1891-1894. The Model 1890 was the successor to the Model 1875 and 1888 and was also intended to be the competitor of the Colt Single Action Army like its predecessors. Though they were arguably a higher quality revolver than their Colt competitor, their advantage in quality was not enough to overcome Colt's head start in sales and superior marketing. This model is one of the most sought after of all of the Remington produced handguns. The top of the barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y.," and "44 C.F.W" is marked on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The matching serial number is marked on the lower left side of the frame under the grip and on the trigger guard tang. The revolver has German silver blade front and frame notch rear sights, lanyard stud and ring mounted on the butt and checkered hard rubber grips with the "RA" monogram at the tops. Famous "KM143", Karl Moldenaur Collection inventory number in white paint letters on the butt and bottom of the frame. Provenance: The Karl Moldenaur Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Fine, retains 40% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to a mixture of grey and brown patina and a few scattered patches of light surface pitting. The grips are also fine, showing an attractively aged chocolate tone, a few scattered light handling marks, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
