Description:
VERY FINE CONDITION MODEL 1871 U.S. ARMY ROLLING BLOCK .50 CALIBER PISTOL, MADE 1871-1872. This was a time in history when cartridge handguns were beginning to appear. S&W held the patent for the bored through cylinder for revolvers and was able to get a contract from the government for 1,000 .44 cal. American top break revolvers for trial purposes. At the same time, Remington came out with this single shot .50 Center Fire single shot model of which the government contracted for 5,000. All of this came to a halt when Colt introduced the famed Single Action Army in 1873. That was hard for anyone to compete with! (Remington also made 900 of this model for civilian sales- these lack the government inspector proof marks.) This example has the correct "P" and "S" proof on the left side of the receiver and sharp script "CRS" cartouche in the left side of the grips. The frame retains fine lightly faded case colors with correct good "straw" color on the hammer and breech block. The barrel shows fine deep blue with only light age. Corrrect front sight with the rear sight being a notch cut in the top of the breech block. Exc. walnut forend and fine grips with only minor handling marks. Exc. markings and screws, tight action and minty bright bore. Many of these were later gunsmith converted into plinkers, sporting pistols and target pistols. Unaltered examples are hard to find in any condition. This is a fine one.
