Description:
RARE 1862 CIVIL WAR Antique REMINGTON M1861 “OLD ARMY” Percussion Revolver

SCARCE! One of only 6,000 Made circa 1862-63

Here we present an antique Remington Model 1861 “Old Army” Percussion Revolver, made circa 1862-63 in Ilion, New York and likely used during the American Civil War. This 6-shot .44 caliber revolver replaced the earlier Remington-Beals Army revolver. Approximately 6,000 were produced before transitioning over to the New Model 1863, which was the result of numerous incremental improvements suggested by the Army Ordnance Department. This is a genuine Civil War issued gun that was made in 1862 before being superseded by the above.

Remington, like Colt, was in business of arms making long prior to the Civil War. Remington began producing handguns since 1857 when they introduced the Remington Beals Pocket Revolver. With the outbreak of the Civil War, all of the company’s energy became devoted to the military production of both long arms and handguns.

As mentioned above, the Model 1861 Old Army revolver was produced to the tune of 6,000 examples, while the New Army model saw totals of about 135,000. Overall, both the Old Army and New Army were highly touted as a reliable and effective firearm, not only for its day, but also in today’s collector market, making her as popular today as she was when she came out over 160 years ago.
The overall condition is good. The action fully functions but the return spring is weak. Good bore for its age. Dark brown patina. Solid grip with average handling wear. Modified cylinder pin.
