Civil War Era Remington New Model Army Revolver
Serial #99441, .44 Caliber, 8" octagon barrel with a good bore that has some minor freckling within the grooves. This is a handsome revolver that retains a few traces of the original bright blue finish on protected areas, with the balance turned to an overall mottled gray patina. Surface scratches are present on the cylinder, with a mild yellow-ochre patina on the trigger guard. The walnut grips are in good-very good shape with numerous handling marks present in the thick, added oil finish. There is no cartouche visible. The lock-up is solid, and the action functions well. This is a good-very good example of a desirable Civil War revolver, and would make a nice piece for display. Antique
