CASED Antique CIVIL WAR Remington-Beals .36 Cal. NAVY Percussion REVOLVER
EARLY 1860s Revolver with ACCESSORIES
Description: CASED Antique CIVIL WAR Remington-Beals .36 Cal. NAVY Percussion REVOLVER EARLY 1860s Revolver with ACCESSORIES Here we present an antique Remington-Beals Navy percussion revolver, manufactured circa 1861-1862 at the Remington Armory in Ilion, New York. The Remington-Beals model revolvers were percussion revolvers manufactured by Eliphalet Remington & Sons in three different calibers, those being the .31 caliber Pocket, the .36 caliber Navy, and the .44 caliber Army, used during the American Civil War, and was the beginning of a successful line of medium and large frame pistols. 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 the Remington-Beals six shot, single action, Army revolver which appeared in 1861. It was prominent as a revolver that saw service with both sides of the American Civil War. This 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. This gun is commonly, though inaccurately, referred to as the Model 1858 due to the patent markings that appeared on its cylinder, "PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, NEW YORK, U.S.A./NEW MODEL.", although wide scale production did not start until 1861. The Remington revolver was a secondary, supplemental issue firearm for the Union Army until the Colt factory fire of 1864. Due to the fire, the Colt 1860 Army was not available for some time. Subsequently, large numbers of the Remington revolver were ordered by the U.S. government. It was more expensive than the Colt, but those who could afford it remarked on its durability. The overall condition is very good. Excellent action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example is nicely refinished. Both stag grips are in fine shape with very little handling wear. Legible markings. The modern case includes a case key, cap tins, modern powder flask, combination tool, cleaning rod with brush attachments, a bullet mold and extra nipples. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 7-1/8 inches. Caliber: .36 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 $2835 #217367 SOLD Antique: Yes |
