Product Description
Antique REMINGTON “New Model” NAVY Percussion Revolver CIVIL WAR WILD WEST
Scarce; One of 28,000 Revolvers Manufactured
Here we present an antique Remington New Model Navy Percussion Revolver manufactured circa 1864 in Ilion, New York. Remington manufactured approximately 28,000 of the .36 caliber New Model Navy revolvers between 1863 and 1875. About 4,300 of these revolvers were purchased by the U.S. Navy. This revolver lacks the anchor stamp found on some U.S. Navy Remington revolvers. There were three progressive models made by Remington. They were the Remington-Beals Army & Navy (1860–1862), the 1861 Army & Navy (1862–1863), and the New Model Army & Navy (1863–1875). The three models are nearly identical in size and appearance. Subtle but noticeable differences in hammers, loading levers, and cylinders help identify each model. The 1861 Remington actually transitioned into New Model appearance by late 1862, slowly transforming throughout 1862, due to continual improvement suggestions from the U. S. Ordnance Department.
This solid frame revolver came with a high polish blue finish on the barrel, frame and cylinder. The hammer has a casehardened finish and the trigger is niter blue. The trigger guard is brass. The two-piece walnut grips are oil finished. The top of the octagon barrel is roll-stamped “PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILLION, NEW YORK, U.S.A./NEW-MODEL” in three lines. Many of these were converted to a .38 caliber metallic cartridge before ever leaving the factory, as the Rollin-White patent was expiring.
The overall condition is very good. Original finish and patina. The action is strong. The bore is in fine condition, shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips show use and remain solid. The numbers match on the barrel, trigger guard and frame.
