Click on an image to enlarge
Here is a quite scarce version of the famous Civil War Remington .36 caliber revolver. This is the earlier production that is known to collectors as the "Old Model Navy" Remington Model 1861 revolver. According to Flayderman these guns were all manufactured in 1862. He states that they only made 7,000 in total production. The guns are easily recognized because of the distinctive style of the loading lever. The loading lever is grooved to allow the cylinder pin to be removed without dropping the lever. This one has had operating channel to the loading lever with stop screw installed to prevent withdrawing the pin with the lever locked. It is believed that most if not all of this variation of Remington revolver were used to fill US government contract orders. That is likely why there are sub inspector initials on several of the main parts of the gun. The gun has an attractive gray color all over. Across the top of the barrel it has some of the Remington manufacturing Mark as well as the Ilion, New York production location. The stamping reads " PATENT DEC. 17 1861 MANUFACTURED BY REMINGTON'S , ILION, N.Y." The gun has the serial numbers of 9,874 on the frame. The underside of the barrel has the matching and correct number. Flayderman states that they started the serial number sequence at the end of the Beals patent production. On the grip of the gun it has the original 2 piece Walnut wood grips intact with a very pleasing appearance with the left hand walnut wood grip that has the inspector cartouche stamp. This along with the sub-inspector initials let us know that this is a military gun instead of a civilian model. The grip has the "CGC" cartouche of Charles G. Curtis, who inspected examples of Remington Elliot revolvers from serial numbers 2446 to 8913 according to Daum and Pate in "U.S. Military Arms Inspector Marks." The right grip panel has been hand carved with crossed arrows over a tomahawk. The mechanics of the gun still function quite well. This is a very attractive gun and is one of the rare early production Civil War Remington .36 caliber Navy model 1861 revolver.
