Only approximately 25,000 Model 1875s were manufactured between 1875 and 1889. The Model 1875 was Remington's answer to the Colt Single Action Army, and like Colt's famous revolver, many of these revolvers saw hard use in the Old West making very fine examples scarce. The left grip is marked "44.W." near the butt, and the bottom of the grips has "H" (left) and "R" (right). Otherwise, it has the standard markings and features.

Very fine with 85% plus original nickel plating, light scratches, slightly heavier scratches on the bottom of the barrel, minor cylinder rotation lines with bright metal visible on forward portion between flutes, and slight flaking concentrated at the right side of the top strap, the rear of the cylinder, and the muzzle. The grips are also very fine and have mild handling wear along the back and the edges and light scratches. Mechanically excellent. This is easily among the finest Remington Model 1875s in 44-40 we have seen recently.
