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 manufactured handguns. Surviving examples of the Model 1890 Single Action are very scarce and this is an excellent example. The revolver has the distinctive round barrel that lacks the web beneath the ejector housing found on Model 1875 Remington revolvers. The top of the barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y." and "44 C.F.W" is marked on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The serial number is marked on the lower left side of the frame under the grip panel. The all nickel finished 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 featuring the "RA" monogram at the tops.

Excellent. The revolver retains 97% plus original nickel finish showing some very scattered flaking and loss on the loading gate. The grips are very fine with a minor chip missing near the bottom (right panel), a few minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
