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 "78095" and the frame is numbered "90252" on the left side under the grip, (nonmatching). 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 script inspector's cartouche "BH" (Benjamin Harris 1861) is on the left grip panel.

Fine as partially refinished (cold blue on front grip strap, forward frame and left recoil shield). 60% of the original blue finish remains on the balance. The balance has a brown patina. There are various dings and light scratches throughout. There is moderate marring at the rear of the cylinder from the hammer. The brass has a lightly aged patina. The grips are fine and have some small chips on the edges. The markings, including the cartouche, are mostly crisp throughout, and the action functions excellently.
