Manufactured from 1866 to 1870 with a total production of around 6,500, this was Remington's first Rolling Block Pistol, and it is easily identified by its distinctive spur trigger. The Rolling Block action is generally considered to be one of the strongest actions ever made. The top of the barrel is marked with the naval anchor, and the right side of the frame is marked with the inspector's markings "P/F.C.W." The left side of the frame is marked "REMINGTON ILION N.Y. U.S.A./PAT. MAY 30 NOV. 15TH 1864 APRIL 17TH 1866". The serial number is marked on the bottom of the barrel ahead of the forearm. The front sight is the standard fixed pinched style, and a notch in the top of the breechblock serves as the rear sight. Casehardened frame, with a smooth trigger, checkered breechblock handle and hammer spur, smooth walnut forearm and smooth one piece grip with a boxed "HW" cartouche on the lower left side.
