SCARCE REMINGTON DA NEW MODEL BELT PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 5563. Cal. .36. Blue finish with 6-1/2″ oct bbl, German silver half moon front sight & 3-line address. Trigger guard is silver-plated brass and it is mounted with smooth 2-pc walnut grips matching numbered to this revolver. According to FLAYDERMAN’S GUIDE TO ANTIQUE AMERICAN FIREARMS, there were 3000-5000 of these revolvers produced in both percussion and cartridge versions 1863-1873. Many of the orig percussion revolvers were subsequently converted to cartridge. Given that this revolver was produced during the Civil War era, it is likely that it would have seen service during the Civil War and later on the American Frontier. Remington revolvers were very popular with their users due to their simplicity of reloading and strength of their frame with its solid top strap. These revolvers are rarely found today with any orig finish. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching except cyl which is unnumbered. Bbl retains about 95% glossy orig blue as does the rammer handle. Frame retains 30-40% blue, mostly in sheltered areas with the balance flaked, not worn, to a medium patina. Hammer retains dark case colors. Trigger retains about 80% bright fire blue & trigger guard traces of orig silver. Cyl retains 85-90% strong orig blue showing very little use with strong blue still in the chambers. Grips show moderate edge wear with light nicks & scratches, and retain 85-90% orig varnish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with a few scattered small spots of pitting. 4-56317 JR113 (5,000-8,000) – Lot 1095
