This Remington New Model Army .44 caliber percussion revolver was manufactured in 1864. The revolver has a blue barrel, frame, cylinder and loading lever, casehardened hammer, niter blue trigger, and brass trigger guard. The two-piece grips are oil finished walnut. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the legend: "PATENTED SEPT. 14.1858 / REMINGTON & SONS. ILION.NEWYORK. U.S.A. / NEW MODEL" in three lines. The serial number "91523" is stamped on the underside of the barrel. "91213" is stamped on the lower left side of the grip and "91213" is written in pencil on the inside of both grips. The left grip is stamped with the Ordnance inspector's script initials "RH" in a rectangle. Single letter Ordnance sub-inspection marks are stamped on all major components. A "P" is stamped on the rear face of the cylinder. The Remington New Model Army Revolver was the primary handgun issued to Federal cavalry regiments during the last two years of the Civil War. These rugged revolvers remained in service with the regular cavalry regiments on the frontier until they were replaced with the Model 1873 Colt Cavalry revolvers circa 1875.

Extremely fine. The revolver appears to be un-fired and retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with scattered, minor, storage marks, and scratches. The finish exhibits the flaking typical of Remington Civil War revolvers on the top strap, right side of the frame, and back strap. Nearly all of the high polish blue finish is present on the barrel, loading lever, and cylinder. The hammer retains nearly all of the dull casehardened finish. The trigger has nearly all of the niter blue finish intact and the brass trigger guard has an attractive patina. The grips are in excellent condition with only light handling wear and a perfect Ordnance inspection mark. The barrel legend, serial number, and Ordnance sub-inspection marks are all crisp. The action functions perfectly. This is a very fine example of an important Civil War Remington New Model Army revolver in un-fired condition.
