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 revolver 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 W" (very unique) on the left side at the breech and the serial number is marked on the left side of the frame under the grip. "87" is stamped on the frame (under the left grip panel). The revolver has an all nickel finish, 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.

Very fine. The revolver retains 80% plus original nickel finish with some wear on the muzzle, a small amount of flaking on the barrel and area of minor pitting on the left side of the frame and ejector housing ahead of the cylinder. The cylinder as several grouping of small dents. There are some overall scattered dings and scratches. The grips are fine with a chip repair on the heel of the left panel, a few minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are crisp. The action is excellent.
