Description:
CIVIL WAR Antique REMINGTON TRANSITIONAL New Model ARMY Percussion Revolver
With Older CONE STYLE GERMAN SILVER Front Sight
Here we present an antique Remington Transitional New Model Army Percussion Revolver, manufactured around 1862 to 1863 during the transition from the Model 1861 to the New Model (serial numbers in the 10,000 to 22,000 range) and issued to a Union soldier during the American Civil War. It has the older cone style German silver front sight, the New Model solid loading lever, and is without the “New Model” designation on the barrel flat. The New Model Army was manufactured from 1863 to 1875 with a total production of approximately 132,000 and represented the last of Remington's .44 caliber percussion revolvers.
The Remington New Model Army represents the second-greatest number of issued handguns found on Civil War battlefields, second only to the Colt 1860 Army. The New Model Army was the primary revolver issued to Union cavalry after the fire at the Colt's factory in 1863. The Union government acquired a total of some 122,000 of these New Model revolvers for military use, with nearly 110,000 New Models purchased by the U.S. government during the Civil War, at a cost of around $11 each. The State of New Jersey also purchased several thousand for Civil War issue. The New Model 1863 Army represents Remington’s highest production martial pistol. It 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. William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody used an ivory-handled New Model Army .44, serial number 73,293, from 1863 until 1906, when he gave it to his ranch foreman with a handwritten note which said that, "It never failed me”.
