Manufactured in the early 1870s on government contract. Standard Remington address and patent marking along the lower edge of the left side of the frame, "I / E.B.. / (upside down) anchor" on top of the barrel, "P / F.C.W" on the right side of the frame and smooth grip with traces of a cartouche on the left side. The serial number appears on the barrel directly ahead of the forearm.

Very good. The barrel retains an area of original blue finish underneath the forearm with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina with some minor spotting. The frame is mostly silvered out case colors. The wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically fine.
