Evidently little used if at all and the screw heads indicate it has not been messed with. Not quite museum quality but at the top end of these very scarce pistols. Overall mottled patina as can be seen with a plum barrel. There are no major blemish's, a bright bore, crisp mechanics and some evidence of case hardening left with a nice blue trigger. The pistol is mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and one piece smooth grip with a boxed script "C.R.S." inspection cartouche on the left.

This pistol was commonly called the "Army and Navy". The 1871 pistol was modified from earlier versions by moving the trigger and trigger guard forward and adding a spur to the grip to assist in controlling recoil. Remington had only percussion pistols on offer during those years. Remington revolver sales were in a slump, because from 1855 to 1871 Smith & Wesson had effectively tied up manufacture of advanced cartridge revolvers by licensing the Rollin White patent that covered any cylinder drilled through from end to end. Probably they were already tooled up for rolling block rifles, so making pistols didnt require an additional investment. It is hard to know exactly why Remington made rolling block pistols when they did, since revolvers were so well established. Here is another 1871 Remington Rolling Block Pistol in obsolete 50 calibre Remington centrefire.
