Make: Remington Model: 1868 Rolling Block Caliber: .43 Cal Action: Rolling Block Barrel: 35 Bore: Dark Serial # 689926 Condition: Good This Remington No. 1 Rolling Block rifle from the 1869 Egyptian contract. One of the largest early foreign orders ever filled by an American manufacturer. Built in the late 1860s. In its original patina it features Arabic writing on the barrel (over chamber) and left side of receiver markings, a ladder rear sight, walnut full length stock (with the usual scratches, dings, etc…), cleaning rod, 3 barrel bands, sling loops, and right side attachment lug for the long Yataghan saber bayonet usually issued with these rifles. Collectors value this variant for its documented role in 19th century arms trade history and its distinctive .43 Cal (11.43x50 Rimmed) Egyptian chambering. Please see photos.
