REMINGTON U.S. NAVY MODEL 1867 ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL, .50 CENTER FIRE, MADE EARLY 1870s

Description:
REMINGTON U. S. NAVY MODEL 1867 ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL, #3XXX, .50 CENTER FIRE, MADE EARLY 1870s. A very scarce pistol as these were actually an alteration of the earlier Model 1865 model that was in .50 Rim Fire and had a sheath trigger (spur trigger). Only about 6500 of the Model 1865 were made. Many, but certainly not all, were altered to the 1867 model, like this one which makes the unaltered earlier Model extremely rare and this one also very scarce as so few were made in total. This is a particularly fine example that still retains some very light and cloudy case color on the receiver sides and protected areas with the balance an uncleaned mottled gray. The barrel retains fine only lightly thinning original deep blue. The forend is excellent. The grips show some handling marks and retain the correct cartouche in the left bottom side along with a couple of faint rack numbers. The hammer and breech block also retain some of the “straw” case hardening. The top rear of the barrel has the correct anchor and inspector marks “I” over “H. E.” and the right bottom of the frame has the correct “P” over “F. C. W.” stamping along with the Remington address and patent dates ending in 1866 on the bottom left side. Rifled bore is bright and excellent. This is a very fine unaltered example of an extremely scarce U. S. N. pistol that does not show up for sale often.
