25,000-30,000 of these revolvers were manufactured around 1875-1889. They are also known as the Improved Army or Frontier Army revolvers and were Remington's first main attempt to compete with Colt and Smith & Wesson in the large caliber single action centerfire revolver market. This one has the standard markings and features, including matching serial numbers on the loading gate and grip frame.

Very fine, retains 75% plus original nickel finish and 60% original blue on the hammer with the balance a smooth grey patina, some scattered light pitting, and some light polishing marks on the barrel and loading gate. The grips are fine with numerous minor dings and scratches throughout, some mild wear, and most of the varnish. Mechanically excellent.
