While limited in production to only approximately 25,000 revolvers in 1875-1889, many of these "Improved Army" or "Frontier Army" revolvers saw hard use in the hands of Native Americans, settlers, and lawmen in the West making high condition examples like this one very scarce. The Model 1875 was Remington's answer to the Colt Single Action Army and is a solid firearm with fewer main components than Colt's revolver, but it simply suffered in the famous "Peacemaker's" shadow. The top of the barrel has the one-line address, and the left side of the frame is marked "44," indicating .44-40 caliber. Both grip panels are numbered to gun. Comes with a contemporary wooden display case containing a cartridge block holding 32 rounds of .44 WCF.
