Remington's revolvers were the second most widely issued by the Union throughout the Civil War. The New Model Army was manufactured from 1863-1875 and represents the last of Remington's .44 caliber percussion revolvers. "PATENTED SEPT. 14. 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION NEWYORK.U.S.A./NEW-MODEL" marked in three lines on the top barrel flat. Matching serial numbers located on the barrel, trigger guard finial (hidden, requires disassembly), left of the grip frame, and handwritten on the underside of both grip panels. The cylinder is unnumbered. Single letter sub-inspection marks located on various components. Boxed script "BH" (Benjamin Hannis) inspection cartouche stamped on the left grip panel. Threaded "pinched" blade front sight and top strap groove rear sight.

Fine, retains 70% plus original blue finish, mostly on the barrel, with some flaking and smooth brown and gray patina on the balance, some light scratches, and sharp markings and edges in the metal. The grips are very fine, with some light edge wear, a few light handling marks, and an exceptionally crisp cartouche and sub-inspection stamps. Mechanically excellent.
