Description:

Remington only manufactured about 2,000 of the Model 1890 Single Action Army revolvers from 1891 to 1894. The Model 1890 was the successor to the Model 1875 and was intended to be the competitor of the Colt Single Action Army. This model of revolver is the most sought after of all of the Remington produced handguns. The top of the barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y." and "44 C.F.W" on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The revolver has a blade front and frame notch rear sights, lanyard stud and ring mounted on the butt, and is fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the "RA" monogram at the tops.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 85% original finish with a patch of pitting present on the left rear of the frame, flaking on the underside muzzle end of the barrel (there are a several dings and dents in the same area) and wear on the recoil shield, high edges of the cylinder and loading gate. The grips are fine with moderate wear. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent. This is a very fine example of a very scarce and desirable Remington
