Excellent Remington Model 1890 Single Action Army Revolver - Serial no. 375, 44-40 WCF cal., 7 1/2 inch
round bbl., nickel finish, hard rubber grips. This is an excellent example of one of approximately 2,020 Model
1890 Single Action Army Revolvers manufactured c. 1891-1896, per “Flayderman’s Guide” (9th Edition, 5E-056).
Finding a Model 1890 in outstanding condition is a rare occurrence, especially considering these revolvers saw
heavy use on the frontier, having been made in a time where they were in great demand. The Model 1890 was
the successor to the Model 1875 and Model 1888, and was intended to be the competitor to the Colt Single
Action Army. Old West lawmen and outlaws alike carried the Model 1890, and today the model is one of the
most sought after of all of the Remington produced handguns. “REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y.” marked
on top of the barrel with “44.C.F.W.” on the left side of the frame. The serial number is stamped on the left side
of the frame under the grip, with the handwritten matching number on the interiors of the grip panels. The
revolver has blade front and frame notch rear sights, and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips featuring the
“RA” Remington Arms monogram at the top.
CONDITION: Excellent, retains 97% untouched original nickel plated finish, with some minor handling marks,
and a light cylinder drag line. Grips are also excellent, with some areas having a brown appearance, and crisp
checkering and logos. Mechanically excellent. This is a superior example of Remington’s legendary Model 1890
revolver that will make for a standout piece in any Remington or Wild West collection!
Provenance: The Herb Glass Jr. Collection; The Greg Lampe Collection.
Estimate: 10,000 - 18,000
