Manufactured from 1875 to 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. The top of the barrel has the one-line legend, and a lanyard ring is mounted on the butt. The grip frame is marked with a numeral "3" behind the lanyard ring. The loading gate is numbered to the gun.

Fine, retaining 70% original nickel finish with smooth gray patina on the balance, some small patches of light pitting, and some red residue in areas. Grips are fine with patches of the original varnish remaining and scattered dings and numerous scratches. Mechanically excellent.
