CIVIL WAR Antique .44 Percussion REMINGTON “New Model” ARMY Like Those Used by the UNION ARMY Circa 1863-65
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique .44 Percussion REMINGTON “New Model” ARMY Like Those Used by the UNION ARMY Circa 1863-65 Here we present an antique Remington New Model Army Percussion Revolver, made circa 1864 in Ilion, New York. The Remington New Model Army represents the second-greatest number of issued handguns found on Civil War battlefields, second only to the Colt 1860 Army. The New Model Army was the primary revolver issued to Union cavalry after the fire at the Colt's factory in 1863. The Union government acquired a total of some 122,000 of these New Model revolvers for military use, with nearly 110,000 New Models purchased by the U.S. government during the Civil War, at a cost of around $11 each. The State of New Jersey also purchased several thousand for Civil War issue. The New Model 1863 Army represents Remington’s highest production martial pistol. It featured a strong, solid-frame design with the groove in the top for a rear sight, as opposed to Colt’s open-top design. Though Colt got the lion’s share of the government contracts, many consider the Remington New Model Army the superior firearm. William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody used an ivory-handled New Model Army .44, serial number 73,293, from 1863 until 1906, when he gave it to his ranch foreman with a handwritten note which said that, “It never failed me”. The overall condition is very good. Smooth dark patina throughout. Excellent action. The bore is patinated with sharp rifling. The hammer screw is a replacement. Numbers match throughout. Both grips are solid with an average amount of wear from handling. There is a small ship on the left grip panel where it meets the frame. There is a cartouche at the bottom of the left panel. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8 inches. Caliber: .44 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE.
