U.S. Navy contract Remington Model 1865 Rolling Block Pistol. This pistol is one of approximately 6,500 rolling block pistols manufactured for the U.S. Navy between 1866 and 1870. It has the distinctive spur trigger found only on Model 1865 pistols, blued, 8 1/2-inch, round barrel, casehardened frame, breechblock, trigger and hammer and oil finished walnut forearm and one-piece grip. The top of the barrel is stamped with the U.S. Navy anchor inspection mark and the proof and inspection marks "P/F.W.C." are stamped on the lower right side of the frame. The left side of the frame is roll-stamped with the two-line legend: "REMINGTONS ILION N.Y. U.S.A./PAT. MAY 3D NOV 15th 1864 APRIL 17th 1866". The serial number, "4558" is stamped on the underside of the barrel in front of the forearm. The inspectors script initials "FCW" are stamped in a rectangle on the lower left grip heel. The Remington Rolling Block Pistols have one of the strongest actions; the Model 1865 Navy Pistol was the first of the rolling block pistols. Most Model 1865 Navy Rolling Block Pistols were subsequently converted to Model 1867 configuration with trigger guard. Original Model 1865 Navy pistols are scarce.
