A Remington New Model 1858 Patent .44 Revolver
<B>A Remington New Model 1858 Patent .44 Revolver</B></I> The Remington Model 1858 .44 caliber six-shot revolver was the major competitor to the Colt Model 1860 Army during the Civil War. This is a fine example of the Remington and bears a serial number of "98455" stamped under the 8" octagonal barrel. The walnut grips are in good condition and the gun has an overall dark gray patina and a nice contrasting brass trigger guard. The top of the barrel is stamped with "Patented Sept. 14, 1858 E. Remington & Sons, Ilion, New York, U.S.A. New Model." This revolver comes with a light brown leather period holster with a brass finial. It has a 3" belt loop at the rear and a flap cover that is missing approximately 3" of the leather at the top and is open at the end.<BR> This was the last percussion model Remington made in .44 caliber and was used extensively during the Civil War. Along with the holster it makes an excellent presentation piece.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
