RARE ENGRAVED REMINGTON NEW MODEL NAVY REVOLVER FACTORY CONVERSION.

SN 44851. Cal. .38 RF. Blue finish with 7-1/2″ oct bbl, pinched post front sight & 3-line address. Bottom left flat of bbl, at the frame has tiny British proofs with matching proofs on the cyl & frame. Trigger guard is unplated brass and it is mounted with smooth, 2-pc walnut grips. Right forward side of frame is mounted with an ejector rod housing and cyl pin has had the right ear removed to accommodate the ejector. Frame is lightly engraved in foliate and snake & dot patterns on the sides. According to FLAYDERMAN’S GUIDE TO ANTIQUE FIREARMS, there were about 28,000 New Model Navy revolvers produced 1863-1878, many of which were converted to metallic cartridge. A large number of those were actually not conversions but left the factory as cartridge revolvers. These revolvers were very popular and were stiff competition to their Colt counterparts but finally succumbed to the superior centerfire cartridge of the late 19th century. Until then however, they saw hard service on the frontier in everyday life under harsh circumstances usually with limited maintenance. The fact that this revolver is English proofed lends credence to equally hard use in England’s far flung empire of that age. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very good. Bbl retains 60-70% orig blue mixed with flaking. Frame retains faded blue in sheltered areas being mostly a blue-grey patina. Hammer retains dark case colors. Cyl is a blue-grey patina turning brown. Grips show moderate to heavy wear & a hand-worn patina. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with good shine & moderate to heavy pitting. 4-56315 JR121 (3,500-5,000) – Lot 1100
