Remington US Navy Model 1867 Rolling Block Pistol in .50 Caliber
Description: US Navy Model 1867 Remington Rolling Block Pistol. This is a nice untouched example and while it shows plenty of use as a tool aboard a ship, it still retains some of its original blue on the barrel and case colors. Originally, all Model 1867's started out as a spur-triggered Model 1865's in caliber .50 Rimfire. The Navy ordered 6,500 units which were delivered from 1866 to 1868. These were inspected by Frank C. Warner as the side of the frame bears his initials and the left side of the grip has his cartouche. From 1870-1875, 6,358 Model 1865's were upgraded to an improved version called the Model 1867. Considering that many of these were aboard ships throughout the world, it took several years to collect them all for the needed upgrades. It's believed that only 142 were left un-converted. Once brought back to land, the 1865's were given a new trigger guard, barrels reduced in length from 8.5" to 7", and caliber changed from .50 Rimfire to .50 Centerfire. As an 1867, this gun was re-inspected by another USN Insepctor "HF" as the barrel shows his initials and a naval anchor marking. Overall, this gun grades to NRA Very Good Plus on the metal and NRA Antique Good on the wood which shows lots of handling wear. as though it was probably in a storage locker with other pistols and/or tools on a rolling ship. You can still see about half of the original case colors on the frame which are fading with a fine patina beginning to haze over the other half. The barrel has about 50% faded original blue as well with numerous little nicks from storage (probably on a ship). Even the hammer and breech block still show nearly 75% of its original straw colors and original blue on the locking plate between the breech and hammer pins on the left side of the frame. The wood wood grip and tiny forend are in good condition with lots of little nicks and dings from military use but solid. You can still see the cartouche on the left grip which is intact (see photo). The bore with its 3 groove rifling is in Excellent shape. This is a really neat level of condition to find for something that's nearly 150 years old...an honest military gun that's just as it was when it came out of the field. Never cleaned, not refinished, just left alone. One look at it and there is no question it got issued aboard a ship and used. Antique, Pre-1898. No FFL Required under Federal Law. This cannot be shipped to NYC, NJ, Chicago, DC, HI. $25.00 shipping in lower US 48.
