Manufactured in 1875-1877, only around 3,000 of these attractive Remington revolvers were produced, with far less being ornately factory embellished like this example. Though unconfirmed, this revolver certainly shows all the ornate hallmarks of a gun specifically made or upgraded for the large trade fairs of the late 19th century, such as the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. This particular Smoot shows near full coverage, intricately executed vine and leafy scroll engraving, as well as a full nickel plated finish. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard one-line E. Remington & Sons address and patent date and the serial number is marked twice on the left of the grip frame under the grip panel. It is fitted with a blade front sight, notch rear sight, and a pair of smooth pearl grips.

Very fine as period replated, retains 90% of the nickel plating with a few scattered patches of light flaking, mainly near edges, and crisp engraving overall. The grips are very fine with a few very light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
