Description:
A remarkably well-preserved Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army Revolver, this scarce .44-40 W.C.F. “Frontier Army” represents one of Remington’s most important Old West sidearms. With fewer than 30,000 manufactured and most examples having seen hard frontier use, an extremely high-condition revolver like this is especially desirable to serious collectors.
  • Scarce Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army Revolver:
    • Approximately fewer than 30,000 manufactured
    • Produced circa 1875–1889
    • Production figure referenced on page 170 of “Flayderman’s Guide, 9th Edition”
    • Also known as the “Improved Army” or “Frontier Army”
  • Exceptional collector condition:
    • Described as an extremely high-condition example
    • Very difficult to find today in this state of preservation
    • Many surviving Model 1875 revolvers show heavy use from service in the American West
  • Strong Old West historical appeal:
    • The Model 1875 was Remington’s answer to Colt’s already famous “Peacemaker”
    • Designed for the belt-sized single-action cartridge revolver market
    • Used during the frontier era by:
      • Lawmen
      • Settlers
      • Native Americans
  • Rugged Remington design:
    • Built as a durable single-action revolver
    • Designed with fewer main components than Colt’s revolver
    • Appreciated by collectors as a sturdy and distinctive alternative to the Colt Single Action Army
  • Desirable .44-40 W.C.F. chambering:
    • Left side of the frame is marked “44,” indicating .44-40 W.C.F. caliber
    • This chambering made the Remington “Frontier Army” a popular companion to the Winchester Model 1873
    • Like Colt’s Frontier Six Shooter, it offered the practical advantage of sharing the same cartridge with a Winchester rifle
  • Barrel address:
    • Top of the barrel has the one-line marking:
      • “E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y. U.S.A.”
    • Address reads from the breech toward the muzzle
  • Sights:
    • Blade front sight
    • Frame-top notch rear sight
  • Serial-number markings:
    • Serial number “704” is marked on the left side of the grip frame
    • Serial number “704” is also marked on the loading gate
    • Serial number “704” is handwritten on the interiors of the grip panels
  • Collector highlights:
    • Low-production Remington frontier revolver
    • Extremely high-condition survival
    • Classic .44-40 W.C.F. caliber with Winchester Model 1873 association
    • Direct competitor to the Colt “Peacemaker”
    • Historically tied to lawmen, settlers, and Native Americans in the West
    • Serial-numbered grip frame, loading gate, and grip-panel interiors enhance authenticity and collector interest
This outstanding Remington Model 1875 offers scarcity, condition, frontier history, and desirable .44-40 W.C.F. chambering, an impressive opportunity for collectors of Old West revolvers and early American single-action arms.

Condition

Excellent, retains 98% plus bright original nickel finish, with minor freckling ahead of the trigger guard, light cylinder drag line, sharp edges in the metal overall and an extremely crisp barrel address. Grips are also excellent, retaining nearly all of their original glossy piano varnish finish with highly attractive grain, minor handling marks, tight fitment, and very well-defined edges. Mechanically excellent. This is a rare opportunity to own an excellent example of one of the most rugged revolvers of the American Frontier!
