Very Fine U.S. Remington Army Model 1871 Rolling Block Pistol

Only around 6,000 Army Model 1871 Rolling Block pistols were manufactured by Remington in the 1870s and 1880s, with approximately 5,000 sold to the U.S. Army. They were inspected by Curtis R. Stickney whose script initials "CRS" are stamped in a boxed cartouche on the left side of the grip. These were the last single shot U.S. martial pistols. Those in high condition like this one are especially desirable. The pistol has an 8 inch blue barrel, casehardened breech block and frame with the distinctive hump on the back strap, nitre blue trigger and bright hammer. The left of the frame is marked with the two-line address/patent dates marking and "P S", which stands for "Proofed" and "Stickney". It has a standard fixed blade front sight on the barrel and integral notch rear sight on the breech block.

Class: Antique

Very fine, retains 85% plus original blue finish on the barrel with scattered light scratches and some freckling, 85% vivid original case colors with some light fading on grip areas, and 50% original nitre blue finish on the trigger. The wood is also very fine with some scattered light dents and handling marks, defined edges and an exceptionally crisp cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
