Fine Civil War U.S. Contract E. Remington & Sons New Model Army Percussion Revolver

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. Threaded "pinched" blade front sight and top strap groove rear sight. Matching serial numbers located on the barrel, trigger guard finial (hidden, requires disassembly), left of the grip frame, and very faintly 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. Provenance: Eric Vaule; Property of a Gentleman

ConditionFine, retains 60% original blue finish overall with smooth gray and brown patina on the balance, some scattered patches of oxidation, traces of original case coloring on the hammer, and a sharp barrel address. Re-oiled grips are fine with scattered dents and scratches, some small chips along the bottom edges visible underneath the finish, and a light but visible cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
