Description:
#4955 Remington 1888 S/A 5-1/2”x44/40 with a VG bore (about a 7 on a scale of 10) and VG action …as long as you’re shooting at someones feet. If you’re shooting at birds in the sky, the cylinder doen’t always rotate, which means it has a weak, broken, or missing hand spring. This scarce Remington has been totally refinished and retains 99% of the refinish nickel and has no pitting. Serial number 150 which would likely be 1888 mfgr if it is, in fact, the scarce 1888 transitional model. If this is the equally rare 1890 model, then it would definitely be 1890 first year mfgr. Unfortunately when this gun was renickeled, the barrel address (which would have indicated which model it is) was buffed entirely off, as was the 44CFW on the left frame side. It does have 1890 hard rubber grips, but they are for certain replacements and do not fit perfect up at the top junction. But whichever model this is, 1888 or 1890, it is a very scarce gun. Both were the products of the reorganized Remington Arms after E. Remington & Sons went into receivership in 1888, and both were the last revolvers made by BOTH companies. A scarce piece with a very shootable bore and very handsome appearance. Ex.Fine+ as refinished. $1895
