SCARCE Antique CIVIL WAR / WILD WEST Remington-Beals .36 NAVY Percussion EARLY 1860s SINGLE ACTION .36 Caliber Revolver

Description:
SCARCE Antique CIVIL WAR / WILD WEST Remington-Beals .36 NAVY Percussion  

EARLY 1860s SINGLE ACTION .36 Caliber Revolver

Here we present an antique Remington-Beals Navy Model Percussion Revolver, manufactured circa 1861-1862 at the Remington Armory in Ilion, New York, with the total production being approximately 14,500 guns. The Remington-Beals model revolvers were percussion revolvers manufactured by Eliphalet Remington & Sons in three different calibers, those being the .31 caliber Pocket, the .36 caliber Navy, and the .44 caliber Army, used during the American Civil War, and was the beginning of a successful line of medium and large frame pistols.

Fordyce Beals (1807-1870) was a firearms engineer who worked both for the Whitneyville Armory and then the Remington Armory in the mid-1850s. During his time at Remington, he developed the Remington-Beals six shot, single action, Army revolver which appeared in 1861. It was prominent as a revolver that saw service with both sides of the American Civil War. This gun’s design is typical of the period. The grip is integral and covered in wood for comfort, and the solid frame added robustness to the design.

The overall condition is good. Dark weathered patina throughout. The action functions but is anemic. The bore is dim with worn rifling. The grips show much use. Numbers match on the barrel and grip frame, the trigger guard appears to be an old replacement from a New Model Navy.
