Reportedly, Remington manufactured approximately 2,000 Model 1890 Single Action Army revolvers between circa 1891-1896. The Model 1890 was the successor to the Model 1875 and 1888 and was also intended to be the competitor to the Wild West legend the Colt Single Action Army. Old West lawmen and outlaws alike carried the Model 1890, and today the model is one of the most sought after of all of the Remington produced handguns. This model saw heavy use on the frontier, with a limited amount of surviving examples. The top of the barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y." The caliber designation "44.C.F.W" is marked on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The serial number is correctly located on the lower left side of the frame under the grip panel. A factory lanyard ring is mounted on the butt. The revolver wears a set of unnumbered checkered hard rubber grips with the "RA" monogram at the tops.

Fine, retains 80% original nickel finish with a mix of gray and darkened patina and some scattered light pitting on the balance of the exposed metal surfaces, most noticeable around the front sight. The undersized period replacement grips are very good with some light wear and a chipped section on the rear of the lower left edge. Mechanically excellent. This would make a fine addition to any western firearms collection.
