Description:
RARE “OLD ARMY” REMINGTON Model 1861 Percussion Revolver CIVIL WAR Antique
1 of only 6,000; .44 Caliber
Here we present an antique Remington Model 1861 “Old Army” Percussion Revolver, likely used during the American Civil War. This 6-shot .44 caliber revolver replaced the earlier Remington-Beals Army revolver. Approximately 6,000 were produced before transitioning over to the New Model 1863, which was the result of numerous incremental improvements suggested by the Army Ordnance Department. This is a genuine Civil War issued gun that was made in 1862 before being superseded by the above.
Remington, like Colt, was in business of arms making long prior to the Civil War. Remington began producing handguns since 1857 when they introduced the Remington Beals Pocket Revolver. With the outbreak of the Civil War, all of the company’s energy became devoted to the military production of both long arms and handguns.
As mentioned above, the Model 1861 Old Army revolver was produced to the tune of 6,000 examples, while the New Army model saw totals of about 135,000. Overall, both the Old Army and New Army were highly touted as a reliable and effective firearm, not only for its day, but also in today’s collector market, making her as popular today as she was when she came out over 160 years ago.
The overall condition is near fine. Original finish/patina. The action is excellent. The bore is in very nice condition with sharp rifling. This one has Ordnance inspector markings throughout. The walnut grips are in very good condition with a good cartouche on the left. Numbers match throughout. A great example of a rare Remington!
