Wow. Nice to see one that old looking so nice.
Thanks for the kind words. This pistol came with a 1913 Navy, an early Springfield and a Rem UMC. I've already shown pictures of the later two but will post pictures of the Navy soon.
Very nice, Duane. Thanks for sharing.
The Rem-UMC plant was set up in Bridgeport, Conn. and only ended up producing 21,676 pistols. I don't believe their was any preference as to which pistols were kept in use after the wars. It was just a matter of which were working and which weren't. If a pistol was in good working condition, it would continue to be used. There were so few of the Rem-UMC pistols as compared to Colts that they were not seen nearly as often.

I think the production for Rem-UMC was 21,676.
