Scarce Remington Model 1890 Single Action Army Revolver with Holster

Remington only manufactured about 2,000 of the Model 1890 Single Action Army revolvers from 1891 to 1894. 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 of revolver is the most sought after of all of the Remington manufactured handguns. The revolver has the distinctive round barrel that lacks the web beneath the ejector housing found on Model 1875 Remington revolvers. The top of the barrel is marked "REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y." and "44 C.F.W" is marked on the left side of the frame just below the cylinder. The matching serial number is marked on the lower left side of the frame under the grip panel and on the loading gate. The revolver has a blade front (slightly modified) and frame notch rear sights, lanyard stud and ring mounted on the butt and is fitted with checkered hard rubber grips featuring the "RA" monogram at the tops. Comes with a floral tooled triple loop Heiser holster.

Very fine. The revolver retains 80% original nickel finish with a dark patina on the exposed areas. There is some minor pitting on the front edge of the cylinder and signs of some cleaning in the same area. The grips are fine with light handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine. The holster is very good with some moderate flex cracking on the bottom of the back skirt, and some of the lining and stitching near the top is absent.
