1861 Remington "Old Army" Revolver. Serial number 3131
This is a nice Remington 1861 “Old Model” Army Revolver in .44 caliber percussion. It is a 6 shot single-action revolver, with an 8-inch octagon barrel, which replaced the earlier “Remington-Beals Army Model Revolver”. The top of the octagonal barrel still has the original barrel markings.
PATENTED DEC. 17, 1861
MANUFACTURED BY REMINGTONS, ILION, N. Y.
Other versions of this revolver were often called the “New Model 1858” due to the patent date on the barrel, however, this version had a different patent date listed. Only Approximately 6,000 were produced before transitioning to the “New Model 1863”. This is a genuine civil war issued gun, with a great look, and a solid place in history. This model was only made during the year 1862, before being superseded by the next model in the line, the “New Model” 1863.
So I can safely say this revolver was definitely there and done that.
Matching serial numbers on barrel, cylinder, and inside of grip strap. All metal parts are marked with C and J inspector marks. Bottom of both grips are marked with J inspector marks. Action indexes very nicely. Barrel markings are nice and sharp. Overall a well above average 1861 Remington still exhibiting original finish on barrel, cylinder, and frame. Both grips show normal handling marks but are in good shape otherwise. Bore is typical of what you see from a Civil War issued revolver. All in all a well above average 1861 Revolver still showing original finish. Please feel free to ask questions.
