Approximately 25,000 Model 1875s were manufactured between 1875 and 1889. The Model 1875 was Remington's attempt to compete with the Colt Single Action Army revolver, but Remington lacked the advantage of Colt's early start in government sales. Marked "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y. U.S.A" on top of the barrel reading breech to muzzle. The serial number is marked on the left side of the grip frame under the grip. Pinched blade front sight screwed into barrel and notch rear sight. Fitted with smooth two piece grips (numbered to the gun) with a lanyard ring mounted on the butt.

Very good as period replated with 99% plus nickel finish remaining. There is very minor thinning on the muzzle, some minor pitting under the finish on the frame., and minor pitting on the grip frame under the grips. The grips are very fine with a few minor and hairline age cracks and show a very mellow streaked patina. The markings are clear. The action is excellent. A very attractive Remington Model 1875 Army revolver.
