On Pawn Stars, one of the most captivating items to ever walk through the doors of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop was a Rare Beautifully Engraved 1875 Remington Revolver. This stunning firearm immediately caught the attention of Rick Harrison and the experts due to its intricate craftsmanship and historical importance. The Remington Model 1875, also known as the “Improved Army” revolver, was one of the finest single-action pistols of its era, rivaling the legendary Colt Peacemaker. What made this particular revolver extraordinary was not only its pristine condition but also its exquisite hand engraving and mother-of-pearl grips, showcasing the artistry and elegance of 19th-century gunsmithing.
The gun was believed to be one of only a few in existence, making it extremely rare among collectors. Its detailed scrollwork and possible gold-plated accents suggested it may have been a presentation piece, possibly owned by a member of Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. When firearm expert Sean Rich examined the revolver, he praised the engraving quality and historical authenticity, estimating its value between $10,000 and $30,000, depending on its provenance and originality. Rick, known for his sharp negotiation skills, was clearly impressed but cautious, knowing that small details could dramatically affect the value of antique firearms.
