CIVIL WAR Antique Percussion U.S. REMINGTON “New Model” ARMY with HOLSTER
Made for the UNION ARMY Circa 1863-65 KILL NOTCHES
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique Percussion U.S. REMINGTON “New Model” ARMY with HOLSTER Made for the UNION ARMY Circa 1863-65 KILL NOTCHES Here we present an antique U.S. Contract Remington New Model Army Percussion Revolver with a black Brauer Brothers Leather Holster, made circa 1863. 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. Mottled brown patina and traces of original blue. The action is excellent. Bright bore, strong rifling. Both grips are in great shape with the right showcasing 8 uniform “kill” notches. The bottom of the grip frame was drilled with two holes, probably for a lanyard or for mounting a detachable wire stock. The black Brauer Bros. St. Louis holster is in fine shape. 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. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2600 #244342 Price: $2,600.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
