Remington New Model Army Factory Cartridge-Converted Revolver
serial #74202, 46 RF, 8'' octagon barrel with a mostly bright very fine bore showing some scattered light oxidation and generally crisp rifling throughout. This is an attractive revolver with the desirable Rollin White patent date marking crisply stamped along the cylinder. The metal surfaces retain about 65% original bright blue with overall flaking and toning to mild gray-brown patina along with some scattered light handling marks and freckling. The left side of the frame shows a little minor pitting and the barrel markings remain crisp. The hammer is a nice smoky gray case-hardened patina while the triggerguard is a pale ocher patina with remnants of silver finish and the sides of the trigger retain subtle fire blue. The smooth walnut grips are pencil-numbered to the gun and remain in very fine condition showing some light handling marks and a small flake at the top corner of the right panel. The barrel and triggerguard are matching the frame and the action seems to function well mechanically. A nice example with desirable marking. (13C11777-40) {ANTIQUE} (2000/2500)
