The Model 1890 Revolver was a competitor to the Colt Single Action Army Revolvers and Remington manufactured an estimated 2,000 Model 1890 Revolvers from 1891 to 1894. Examples of the Model 1890 Revolvers are very scarce and very desirable. The revolver has the distinctive round barrel that lacks the web beneath the ejector housing found on Model 1875 Remington revolvers. This example has the desirable high polish blue finish with casehardened hammer and loading gate. Seldom are Model 1890 Revolvers encountered with the all blue finish as most were nickel plated. The barrel is fitted with a nickel-silver front blade sight with the top of the barrel marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION. N.Y." The caliber designation "44 C.F.W." (44-40) is stamped on the left side of the frame below the cylinder. The serial number is located on the left side of the frame underneath the grip panel. The revolver is fitted with checkered grips featuring the "RA" monogram at the top and has a lanyard stud with ring on the butt.

Very fine. The revolver retains 50% original blue finish with the balance a mottled brown patina showing some pin point pitting. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
