Remington New Model Army revolver manufactured c. 1864. Remington made over 110,000 New Model Army revolvers for the Ordnance Department during the Civil War. The Remington New Model Army revolvers were the primary handgun of the Federal cavalry during the last two years of the war. The New Model Army revolvers remained in service with the cavalry until they were replaced by the Colt Single Action Army revolver c. 1874. The revolver has a high polish blue finish on the barrel, loading lever, frame and cylinder. The hammer has a casehardened finish and the trigger guard is brass. The two piece walnut grips are oil finished. The top of the octagon barrel is roll stamped "PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILLON, NEW YORK, U.S.A./NEW MODEL". Small "P" and "J" Ordnance sub-inspection marks are stamped on most major components. The Ordnance final inspection mark which consists of the script initials "JP" in a rectangle is stamped near the bottom of the left grip. The serial number, "90757" is stamped on the underside of the barrel. The partial serial number "0757" is stamped on the rear face of the cylinder.

Excellent. The revolver appears to be unfired and retains 90% plus of the bright original high polish blue and casehardened finish. The octagon barrel and six shot cylinder have nearly all of the original finish intact. There is no flash pitting on the rear face of the cylinder or the percussion nipples. The frame has some finish flaking that is typical of Remington revolvers but retains at least 95% of the high polish blue finish. The hammer has all of the case colors intact. The brass trigger guard has an untouched patina. The grips are excellent with nearly perfect ordnance final inspection mark and retain nearly all of original oil finish. This is an exceptional example of a Civil War Remington New Model Army revolver in as issued condition.
