The Remington New Model Army Revolver was issued in greater quantities by the Union than any other revolver except the Colt Model 1860 Army. The revolver has Remington's high polish blue finish on the barrel, cylinder frame, and loading lever. The hammer has a casehardened finish, and the trigger is niter blue. The underside of the barrel is numbered "77561" and the left side of the frame under the grip is numbered "79761", (nonmatchnig). The top of the barrel is marked: "PATENTED SEPT. 14. 1858 / E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILLION NEW YORK.U.S.A. / NEW--MODEL.". Small sub-inspector initials are stamped on most components. The grips have no visible cartouches.

Fine with refinished grips. 60% of the original blue finish remains along with traces of the original case colors and niter blue. The brass is partially bright and has some aged patina. There is brown and gray patina where the finish is faded and a distinct cylinder drag line. There is some faint pitting and light oxidation. The undersize refinished replacement grips are good with some repairs on the bottom, some strike mark, light scratches, and some chipping at the toes. The action functions excellently, and the markings are clear.
