RARE U.S. NAVY REMINGTON Model 1867 ROLLING BLOCK Action .50 Caliber Pistol
Scarce Rolling Block Pistol with NAVY INSPECTION MARKINGS
Here we present an antique U.S. Navy Remington Rolling Block Model 1867 Pistol made circa 1870 in Ilion, New York. The Model 1867 pistol uses a .50 caliber Remington Pistol Center Fire cartridge and a thumb latch activated Rolling Block. It could be said that there was in reality no 1867 Model since the 1867 pistols were contract alterations of the Model 1865. The action was extremely strong and could easily withstand the increased pressure of the new smokeless powders coming into use by the late 1880s.
The Remington Rolling Block had a sturdy, simple action that was relatively inexpensive, just what many governments wanted in the latter half of the 19th Century. They were popular with civilians as well. Civilian Remington rolling block rifles, and later surplus military rifles, became rifles probably used more than any other by the buffalo hunters who hunted the American bison herds in the 1870s very popular among hunters in Scandinavia, particularly for moose hunting, with ammunition for the rifles being commonly available on the civilian market into the 1920s-1930s.
From Flayderman’s: In the late 1860s, Remington produced the first of its rolling block pistols, the 1865 Navy chambered in .50 caliber rimfire. These were modified to the 1867 Navy, chambered in .50 caliber centerfire, and all were government contracted for. They were all marked with the Navy inspection marks “P / FCW” on the right side of the frame. The left-over parts were made into the rifle marketed as the “Remington Cadet Rifle N0. 205” and intended for sale to military schools and cadet corps quasi-military boy’s organizations popular during that turn of the century era.
The overall condition is good+. Strong action. Good bore with strong rifling. There is a minor spot in the middle with a bit of pitting. Wood is in good shape with average wear. The top of the barrel is stamped with an anchor. The right frame is stamped “P/F.C.W.”, for USN Ordnance Inspector Frank C. Warner. Here is a chance to own a truly rare and interesting specimen from Remington!
