The Model 1863 was manufactured by Remington through a contract for 12,501 rifles with the Ordnance Department. They were not issued during the war, and nearly 10,000 are reported to have been sold via Bannermans in the early 20th century. There are some reports that some Model 1863s were among the surplus arms sold to the French government for the Franco-Prussian War. This example has the standard markings and features including "1863" on the lock and barrel and has an original saber bayonet with leather scabbard.

Fine overall with 70% plus original blue finish, 30% original case colors, some mild oxidation and pitting concentrated at the breech, a bright patch box, mild aged patina on some of the other brass, scattered small marks and scratches. The stock is fine. The barrel tang is battered due to once being removed. Mechanically excellent. The bayonet is fine and has mild pitting. The scabbard is fair and has a detached mouthpiece.
