079-1022-8166, Remington NM Army Conversion to .45 CF, 5 shot. This conversion model is photographed in the book, REMINGTON LARGE BORE CONVERSION REVOLVERS, by R. Phillips. Only 250 of these books were printed.
On page 85, “Fig. 93 fine-shot revolver is noteworthy for several reasons: the maker is known, the caliber is .45 center-fire, a hinged loading gate (inset right) was provided, and the hammer striker was unusually long. Like a specimen once in the Karl Moldenhaur collection, this conversion was one of an unknown number, “Remodeled by Frank L. Osgood. . . . The revolver, one of three known, had a loading gate hinged to a ¼ inch thick conversion ring-like plate attached by two screws to the recoil shield.”
The gun is smooth gray with clear markings, inspector marks, clear cartouche on grip. #103xxx on the bottom of the barrel, #104xxx on the frame under the grips. Both wood grips have the same number penciled onto the back of each grip. The number 104 is on the cylinder. I have fit a .45 Colt into the chamber and it fits perfectly. Flashes of blue on frame and protected places on the barrel. Some mottled staining on the barrel in places and slight roughness in places. Very good overall, and incredibly rare conversion to .45 CF
