Description:
Antique REMINGTON Model 1875 .44-40 WCF Single Action ARMY REVOLVER
JESSE and FRANK JAMES Revolver of Choice w/BONE GRIP
Here we present an antique Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army Revolver in .44-40 WCF, also known as the “Improved Army” or the “Frontier Army”, made in Ilion, New York circa 1877 with a production run between 1875 and 1889. The Model 1875 followed the form of the successful Model 1858 which saw widespread use and acceptance during the American Civil War. It kept the 1858’s use of a top-strap frame which led to increased structural strength when compared to the competing open frame Colts from that period. The 1875 was specifically developed around the use of metallic cartridge ammunition. It was supposed to be Remington’s answer to the hugely popular Colt .45 SAA, better known as the “Peacemaker” and represented Remington’s first dive into the metallic cartridge revolver market. Ordinary citizens and Old West lawmen alike recognized the sturdy quality of the new Remington revolvers.
The Model 1875 was actually pretty late to the game by some two full years as the Colt Peacemaker had already found favor with the U.S. Government through Army bound contracts. Because of this, production totals reached only around 25,000 to 30,000 revolvers with a manufacturing period ranging from 1875 into 1889. They were manufactured in three different chamberings, which were .44 Remington Centerfire, .44-40 WCF, and .45 Colt. Frank and Jesse James both owned and used Model 1875s, at least two of which still exist. Frank’s No. 5116 and Jesse’s No. 559. The Remington 1875 was a good competitor against Colt with a similar format with regards to the loading gate, ejector rod, and single action.
The overall condition is near fine. Original nickel finish. Excellent action. Nice bore with good rifling. Both grips are good with the right panel missing a chip. Numbers match throughout. A handsome and scarce Remington.
