Description:
Rare Remington Model 1875 SAA, Egyptian Contract Revolver, .44 Remington CF, blued, wooden grip panels, the left one clearly stamped with the inspector’s cartouche FR in a circle. The top of the barrel has the address: "E. Remington & Sons, Ilion N.Y. U.S.A.". As is typical of all existing Egyptian contract versions, it is stamped on the left side of the barrel with a star and a sub-inspector’s mark “R” next to it on the frame. The rear of cylinder is also marked with a “R” sub-inspector’s mark. Both grips have matching numbers on the inside, proper FR cartouche is clearly visible on bottom of left grip. Excellent bore and action functions smoothly. The barrel retains 60-65% original blue mixing in with some brown patina. Theretains 70-75% original blue. Cylinder exhibits some nice original finish as well. Traces of case colors on hammer. Unfortunately for Remington, the big Egyptian order did not pan out and few (if any) of these guns were actually delivered to the Egyptians. The problems arose over Egypt’s failure to pay large balances due on earlier Remington Rolling Block military rifle orders. The end result was that the production of the Egyptian contract guns ended prematurely, and the few revolvers that existed were apparently sold on the open market to allow Remington to recoup some of their monetary losses. Please feel free to ask questions. I do offer layaway (contact me for the full details), and will consider trades.
