Manufactured c. 1873-1890, this is an attractive example of an exhibition engraved Remington No. 1 rolling block rifle in a deluxe "Creedmoor" type configuration. The action has essentially full coverage, exhibition grade, floral scroll engraving, showing many attributes of engraving executed by Louis D. Nimschke. A small number of Long Range "Creedmoor" No. 1 rifles were made by Remington in configurations similar to this one, though not engraved, that were intended for use in long range shooting matches such as those held at the Creedmoor range in New York. The top of the barrel is unmarked apart from short flourishes of fine scroll engraving on the flats at the breech. The bottom of the barrel is only marked with an "E" with a punchdot on either side. The left side of the action is marked with six-line patent marking and the serial number is marked on the lower tang. It is fitted with a windage adjustable globe front sight that once had a spirit level (glass now absent), no provision for a rear sight on the barrel, and an interesting, rarely seen, long range peep sight mounted on the upper tang. It is mounted with a smooth forearm with a horn Schnabel tip and a nicely figured, pistol grip stock with a checkered grip area bordered by well-executed relief carved scrollwork, which continues onto the base of the grip. There is a small hole in the top of the comb, likely for peep sight mounting, and it is fitted with a checkered steel shotgun type buttplate.
