Description:

Only 25,000 Remington Model 1875 revolvers were manufactured and many saw hard use in the Old West. This example was clearly well taken care of over the years. Pinched blade front sight, top strap groove rear sight, smooth walnut grips, and lanyard ring. The barrel has the one-line Remington & Sons address, and the left grip is marked "44." The matching three-digit serial number is found on the loading gate and left side of the grip frame. With a modern black leather military style flap holster.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 85% plus of the unpolished original nickel plating remains. There is a flake below the cylinder on the left, a drag line on the cylinder, and some spots of dark brown patina and light spotting on the right side. The hammer has strong original case colors on the left and some slight pitting and gray patina on the right. The slightly undersize grips are also very fine and only have some slight chipping and wear on the lower edges. The markings are crisp, and the action functions excellently. The holster is very good and has only minor wear.
