Remington only manufactured about 2,000 of these Model 1890 Single Action Army revolvers in 1891-94. The Model 1890 was the successor to the Model 1875 and 1888 and was also intended to be the competitor of the Colt Single Action Army like its predecessors. This model is one of 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 C.F.W" is marked on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The matching serial number is marked on the lower left side of the frame under the grip and the heel of the trigger guard, and the assembly number "416" is on the loading gate arm. The revolver has a 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. Like many of the Model 1888 revolvers, the barrel length is 5 3/4 inches rather than the listed 5 1/2 inch length.

Very good with gray and brown patina mixed with strong traces of original blue and cold blue touch-ups. The cylinder has some deep scrapes at the edges of one flute, and there are mild scratches and dings throughout. The grips are very good with restoration visible on both grip panel butts, fairly crisp checkering, and some minor nicks and scratches. Mechanically functions but the half cock lets the cylinder spin too freely.
