Description:This is one of the estimated 2,000 Model 1890 Single Action Army Revolvers manufactured from 1891 to 1896. The Model 1890 was the successor to the Model 1875 and was intended to be the competitor of the Colt Single Action Army. This model revolver is the most sought after of all of the Remington produced handguns. The top of the barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y." and "44 C.F.W." on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The serial number is stamped on the left side of the frame under the grip. The revolver has blade front and frame notch rear sights, lanyard stud with ring mounted on the butt and fitted with checkered grips featuring the "RA" monogram at the top.
Rating Definition:Fine. The revolver retains 60% original nickel finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. There is some very scattered light pitting. The repaired grips are very good with a missing minor chip on the bottom, some wear in the checkering and filled shallow notches along the bottom edge. Mechanically fine.
