Remington's revolvers were the second most widely issued by the Union throughout the Civil War, and the New Model Army revolvers became the primary issue revolvers of the Union cavalry after the fire at the Colt Armory on February 4, 1864. Manufactured from 1863 to 1875, these represented the last of Remington's .44 caliber percussion revolvers. The barrel, trigger guard finial, and left side of the grip frame have the matching serial number, and the left grip appears to be numbered to the gun in pencil. Single letter sub-inspection marks are located on various components. A boxed script "BH" (Benjamin Hannis) inspection cartouche is stamped on the left grip panel. Features a "pinched" blade front sight and top strap groove rear sight.

Fine. 50% plus of the original blue finish remains. The finish is concentrated on the frame and battered cylinder and has faded to smooth brown on the barrel, loading lever, and grip straps. The brass trigger guard displays attractive aged patina. There are mild dents and scratches throughout from honest period use. The grips are also fine with a distinct cartouche, smooth oiled finish, and hammering wear including chipping visible at the forward toe on the left. Mechanically fine. This is a very attractive example of the iconic Remington New Model Army revolver. Many of these revolvers saw extensive use by the U.S. cavalry in the Civil War and the Old West.
