CIVIL WAR US Contract REMINGTON New Model ARMY .44 Revolver ENGRAVED GOLD CASED, ENGRAVED & GOLD INLAID ACW Classic
Description: CIVIL WAR US Contract REMINGTON New Model ARMY .44 Revolver ENGRAVED GOLD CASED, ENGRAVED & GOLD INLAID ACW Classic Here we present a Gorgeous Antique Remington New Model Army Revolver, issued to a Union soldier circa 1863-65, during the American Civil War. This one has been beautifully engraved and embellished with gold throughout. It comes cased with accessories, some of which appear to have been made by the engraver of this gun. The original markings, including the inspector markings, were carefully spared while the engraver made his mark on this revolver. The gold accents really make this piece stand out. The New Model Army was manufactured from 1863 to 1875 with a total production of approximately 132,000 and represented the last of Remington's .44 caliber percussion revolvers. The Remington New Model Army represents the second-most number of issued handguns found on Civil War battlefields, second only to the Colt 1860 Army. The New Model Army was the primary revolver issued to Union cavalry after the fire at the Colt's factory in 1863. The Union government acquired a total of some 122,000 of these New Model revolvers for military use, with nearly 110,000 New Models purchased by the U.S. government during the Civil War, at a cost of around $11 each. The State of New Jersey also purchased several thousand for Civil War issue. The New Model 1863 Army represents Remington’s highest production martial pistol. It featured a strong, solid-frame design with the groove in the top for a rear sight, as opposed to Colt’s open-top design. Though Colt got the lion’s share of the government contracts, many consider the Remington New Model Army the superior firearm. William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody used an ivory-handled New Model Army .44, serial number 73,293, from 1863 until 1906, when he gave it to his ranch foreman with a handwritten note which said that, "It never failed me”. “E.R. Conover” is inlaid on the butt. The case contains an engraved bullet mold with "Rem/.44" in gold inlay on the sprue cutter as well as a large powder flask, bore rod, screwdriver, nipple wrench, spare nipples and pawl, bullets, cap tin, and an oiler. The overall condition is Very Fine. The action is strong! The bore is in very nice shape. A unique and exquisite piece of history! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8 inches. Caliber: .44 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE.
