Description:

Remington only manufactured about 2,000 of the Model 1890 Single Action Army revolvers from 1891 to 1894. The Model 1890 was the successor to the Model 1875 and was intended to be the competitor of the Colt Single Action Army. This model is the most sought after of all of the Remington produced handguns. The top of the barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y.", and "44 C.F.W" is on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The serial number 99 is marked on the left side of the frame under the grip. The revolver has a blade front and frame notch rear sights, lanyard stud and ring mounted on the butt, and is fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the "RA" monogram at the tops.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 60% plus of the original nickel finish, with wear on the muzzle, ejector rod, cylinder and high points, and blistered flaking on the grip straps. The grips are also very fine with a minor repair and a few small chips on the bottom of the right panel and overall crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent. A very fine example of a scarce and desirable Remington Model 1890 revolver.
