Lot 3140: Remington Double Action New Model Belt Percussion Revolver

Manufactured from 1863 to 1873. The top barrel flat is marked "PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, NEW YORK, U.S.A. / NEW MODEL". Six shot non-fluted cylinder and silver plated brass trigger guard. Matching serial number on frame and barrel with the partial serial number (453) on the back of both grips.

Fine. The barrel, loading lever, and cylinder retain 50% original blue finish (mostly on the barrel) with the balance a smooth brown patina. The frame has a brown-gray patina. There is some scattered minor spotting, with some minor pitting on the barrel and loading lever. The trigger guard retains 90% original silver plating. The grips are very fine with some minor scratches and a few minor pressure dents (on the bottoms), with most of the original varnish remaining. Mechanically excellent.
