R2456 REMINGTON MODEL 1871 ARMY ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL IN 50 CF; The Remington Model 1871 Army Rolling Block Pistol is a single shot breech loading 50 caliber handgun produced by E. Remington & Sons and features an 8 inch round barrel chambered in 50 Center Fire (utilizing a black powder cartridge with a 25-grain charge and a 0.5-inch lead projectile) with a bright near excellent bore. The barrel retains most all of the original blue showing some scattered light handling marks and some thinning to smooth gray patina. The action has vibrant original case-hardened colors. Hammer and rolling block are rich straw color and strong fire blue finish on the trigger and screws.The Remington address and patent dates and Army “P” and “S” proofs are crisp. The smooth walnut forend is very fine showing some darkening and the walnut grip is excellent with a mild abrasion along the top right edge and a crisp “CRS” inspector cartouche on left side. Military-issued pieces feature inspector stamps on the left side of the frame (such as “P” and “S” for proof and inspector marks) and government cartouches (such as “LRS” or “CRS” for inspectors like Curtis R. Stickney) stamped into the wooden grip. On February 25, 1871, the U.S. Army agreed to buy 5,000 units by trading away older stored Remington New Model Army percussion revolvers. Though robust and reliable the single-shot design was considered backward by 1871 given to the rapid rise of multi-shot revolvers leading to limited military adoption outside of this specific contract. This is an excellent example of these rather short-lived U.S. Army rolling block pistols.
