Manufactured c. 1875-1889. Egyptian contract markings: "JWR" cartouche on left grip panel and "star R" on left side of barrel at breech. The Egyptian government placed an order for 10,000 Remington Model 1875 Army Revolvers. An unknown number of these revolvers were manufactured before Remington decided to stop production because Egypt still owed the company several hundred thousand dollars for rolling block rifles and carbines. The fact that almost every known specimen has turned up in the U.S. supports the conclusion that Remington never delivered a single Model 1875 revolver to the Egyptian government. With 1975 dated safety inspection certificate indicating revolver was owned by U.S. Navy Lt. Commander Arthur J. Tuttle. Provenance: The Arthur J. Tuttle Collection
