Synopsis:

High Original Condition Remington, Smoot, Model 3 Revolver, Circa 1873.

Description:

The Remington "Smoot" revolver, patent registered in 1873, was an early attempt by Remington Arms Company at a breech loading revolver system. This unnumbered example is the New Model No.3, the most popular version, with about 25,000 No3s made between 1878-1888, in several different chamberings. This nickel plated five-shot revolver, cal. .38 RF, has a 3.6" barrel with a fixed front sight and notched rear sight. The shallow rib is marked with the manufacturer address, patent, and "SMOOT" reference. Spur hammer and trigger with birds-head grip having dark brown gutta percha checkered panels. ANTIQUE!

Condition:

VG/EXC, still with most of the original factory nickel. Sharp edge wear and small areas of scattered flaking as carefully imaged, most noticeable on the cylinder. Comparable condition grips. Mirror bore. Correct manual mechanics with each cylinder locking into place upon full cocking. A very attractive and all original Remington SMOOT revolver whose antique status makes it even more desirable. ANTIQUE!
