Antique REMINGTON-RIDER New Model BELT Single Action Revolver 36 Percussion

Description:
Antique REMINGTON-RIDER New Model BELT Single Action Revolver 36 Percussion
SCARCE 1 of Fewer than 5,000
Here we present an antique Remington-Rider New Model Belt Percussion Revolver, made circa 1865 to 1873 in Ilion, New York. This revolver was a single-action, percussion revolver that was produced from 1863 to 1873. It was a smaller version of the New Model Army and Navy revolver, but larger than the New Police. The revolver was a result of a collaboration between Remington Arms and Joseph Rider of Newark, Ohio. The new gun was introduced in 1863 and would remain in production for a decade, with total production between 3,000 and 5,000 revolvers. As the guns were serial numbered in the same range as the Remington New Model Single Action Revolvers, it is difficult to know for sure how many were produced, and a lack of surviving factory records make investigation into the matter difficult. The New Model Belt series of revolvers appear to be a concerted effort by Remington to produce a handy, personal defense type revolver that would be at home in a belt holster or even a large over coat pocket, 
This percussion six-shot, .36 caliber revolver was designed for defensive carry and would have been equally at home in a holster, pocket or purse. These revolvers were made during a period when Smith & Wesson owned the Rollin White Patent. Companies like Remington and Colt were relegated to continue production of revolvers with the percussion firing system until the patent expired in 1869. Once this happened, companies lost no time fitting their percussion models with various cartridge conversions or incorporating this new technology at the factory. The later manufactured revolvers in this series had the ability to fire either cartridge or percussion cylinders from the same gun.
The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish and case colors. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The grip shows very little use and is in fine condition. Numbers match.
