Factory engraved remington New Navy conversion to 38 Centerfire 

Factory engraved remington New Navy conversion to 38 Centerfire   Flayderman P 163, item 5E 022 SPECIAL ORDER

Not many remingtons were factory engraved, this one has the typical floral engraving on the frame.   The end of the barrel is turned round, this is an extremely rare factory special order. Have only seen 3 in 30 Years. Barrellength is correct, beeing 7 3/8 of an inch. Grips are fine, no damage, a few light dings. 

Deep rifling, showing a few light spots, adress is correct and all there, Serialnumber 44116.  This one is in fact NOT a conversion.  The ones with the added ejectorpin, that folds into the lever, were made by Remington directly as a center- or fimfire revolver.  they still had a lot of parts in inventory and used these up, making conversions, but not from the already excisting stock of finished guns.  My number 2146 on my site is a nickled version of the same gun , BUT this one was born as a percussion gun and has thus not the ejector, also that is a rimfire. 

Overall about 80 % of the blue, that turned a bit brown present, works perfect and is completely original. only a handfull of these conversions were factory engraved, and probably the only one having the special order barrel.   good shooter.
