While limited in production to only approximately 25,000-30,000 revolvers between 1875-1889, many of these "Improved Army" or "Frontier Army" revolvers saw hard use in the hands of Native Americans, settlers, and lawmen in the West. The Model 1875 was Remington's answer to the Colt Single Action Army and is arguably a more solid firearm with fewer main components than Colt's revolver, but it simply suffered in the famous "Peacemaker's" shadow. These .44-40 W.C.F. chambered Remington revolvers could be just as easily paired with a Winchester Model 1873 as Colt's Frontier Six Shooter. "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION.N.Y. U.S.A." marked on top of the barrel. There is a lanyard ring and stud fitted to the butt. The assembly number "115" is marked on the grip frame and stamped on both grip panels. The serial number "14194" is stamped on the grip frame and marked in pencil on both grip panels. The caliber marking "44" for .44 W.C.F. is on the lower portion of the left grip panel. These revolvers were generally finished in nickel, and it is not common to encounter blued examples such as the one offered here. Comes with an attractive floral tooled leather holster rig marked "36/MEXICO/22.".

Very good, retaining 25% original blue finish in and around the sheltered areas with smooth brown-gray patina associated with a well-traveled, Frontier sidearm on the balance. Patterns of original case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are also very good with high edge wear, some minor handling marks, repaired small chip on bottom, and legible caliber marking. Mechanically fine. The holster rig is very fine.
