Also known as the Improved Army Revolver, the Remington Model 1875 was produced from 1875 to 1889, and served as a rival to Colt's SAA. Though the Colt had a decisive advantage in government contracts, it is known that an order of 639 Remingtons was placed by the Department of the Interior to arm the Indian Police working the western reservations. The exact markings used on these revolvers remains unverified. Fixed sights, with the one line E. Remington address running from breech to muzzle, "44" on the left side of the frame and "1252" on the loading gate. Fitted with a pair of smooth ivory grips.

Fine as period replated, with 90% of the nickel finish, showing bright edge wear, handling marks and a few scattered dings. A small amount of pitting is visible under the plating on the right side of barrel web, on the cylinder, and on the right side of frame. Grips are very good replacements, with shrinkage and age cracking, as well as a very attractive color and grain. Mechanically very good.
