Rare Remington model 1875 'Egyptian Contract' centre fire revolver. Manufactured as a direct competitor to the Colt .44 model 1874, a number of these were sold under contract to the Egyptian Army in the now obsolete .44 Remington cartridge. This example is in full working order with a very good bore. There is some external pitting and the gun has been refinished but it is a good example of a now quite rare revolver. Ones in slightly better condition than this one are now fetching over £2500 | No Licence Required |
