Approximately less than 30,000 Model 1875 Single Action Army Revolvers were manufactured c. 1875-1889, per "Flayderman's Guide" (9th Edition, 5E-055). 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 a solid firearm with fewer main components than Colt's revolver, but it simply suffered in the famous "Peacemaker's" shadow. The top of the barrel has the one-line address "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y. U.S.A." reading from the muzzle towards the breech. The left side of the trigger guard is marked "44" indicating .44-40 WCF caliber. The serial number "846" is marked on the left side of the grip frame. "F.A. HODGES 1929" handwritten on the interior of the right grip panel. Provenance: The Howard "Skip" Quade Collection
