Rare CIVIL WAR Era REMINGTON-BEALS First Model .31 Cal. Percussion REVOLVER Manufactured at the Remington Armory in Ilion
Description: Rare CIVIL WAR Era REMINGTON-BEALS First Model .31 Cal. Percussion REVOLVER Manufactured at the Remington Armory in Ilion Here we present a rare Remington-Beals percussion revolver, manufactured circa 1856-1858 at the Remington Armory in Ilion, New York. Estimated that only as many as 5,000 made total. Fordyce Beals (1807-1870) was a firearms engineer who worked both for the Whitneyville Armory and then the Remington Armory in the mid-1850s. During his time at Remington, he developed what would become the Remington-Beals 1st Model, a 5-shot pocket revolver which appeared in mid-1856. Though this design allowed Remington to break into the civilian gun market, it was more prominent as a revolver that saw service with both sides of the American Civil War. The gun’s design is typical of the period. The grip is integral and covered in wood for comfort, and the solid frame added robustness to the design. Its compact dimensions were respectable, especially with discerning buyers seeking concealment for their firearms. The overall condition is good+. This one wears an old blue refinish. The action has two issues: 1) the hammer does not presently hold full-cock (it does hold half-) and 2) the link between the hammer and the hand to revolve the cylinder is absent. The bore is in nice shape with reflective surfaces and sharp rifling. The grips are near fine. A rare little Remington that will fill the hole in a collection! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3 inches. Caliber: .31 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1600 #220606 SOLD Antique: Yes |
