RARE & LETTERED New Jersey Contract Remington Army
New Model Army Revolver Issued in 1864 to NJ Militia
Here we present an antique Remington New Model Army Revolver, issued to the New Jersey State Militia in 1864, during the American Civil War, according to the accompanying Remington Museum Archive Letter. Only 1,000 of these revolvers were made on this contract, a tiny fraction of the entire production. New Jersey contributed greatly to the Union war effort, fielding over 88,000 troops, a significant portion of which was integrated into the Army of the Potomac. The Remington New Model Army represents the second-most number of issued handguns found on Civil War battlefields, second only to the Colt 1860 Army. The Remington featured a strong, solid-frame design with the groove in the top for a rear sight, as opposed to Colt’s open-top design. Though Colt got the lion’s share of the government contracts, many consider the Remington New Model Army the superior firearm.
This example features “NJ” markings on the rear portion of the barrel and the frame on the left side. Small government inspector markings are found throughout. The barrel address reads “PATENTED SEPT. 14 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS ILION NY USA”.
The overall condition of the piece is very good. The metal surfaces have an untouched, dark patina. The markings are clear and legible. Serial numbers match. The walnut grips are smooth and in very good condition. The grips also match the serial number. The bore is sharp and clean. The action is excellent. Here is a very nice example of a rare, New Jersey State Militia issued Remington New Model Army, complete with a Remington Museum Letter from 1980! This is not something you find every day.
