Washington accepted them with thanks, and the pair remained with him through the rest of the American Revolution. Their silver mounts still show wear consistent with use in saddle holsters, while a silver band across each grip carries the name “Gen. G. Washington.” Today, the pair is preserved at the West Point Museum with an unusually strong chain of provenance extending back to Washington himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey were not the only distinguished pistols associated with him.

The Battle of the Bulge runs across one side through armored columns and maps of the European campaign; Patton’s portrait, four-star rank, signature, 48-star flag and “OLD BLOOD AND GUTS” build the other around the man commanding them.

Grant's Remington Revolver","description":"\u003cp\u003eUlysses S. Grant rose from relative obscurity to become the Union’s most important commander during the American Civil War and later the 18th President of the United States. In late 1863 or early 1864, after his victory at Vicksburg had secured Union control of the Mississippi, Grant received a matched pair of elaborately engraved Remington New Model Army revolvers. Numbered 1 and 2, the presentation set remained out of public view for more than 150 years before resurfacing in 2018.

The practical Remington platform — octagonal barrel, solid frame and top strap — became the foundation for extensive scroll engraving attributed to master engraver L.D. Nimschke. Raised ivory grips made Grant himself part of the design: his portrait in uniform appears on one side, while the other carries a spread-winged eagle, American flags and the Columbia shield.

Four days later, before the revolver reached him, Roosevelt was shot in the chest while campaigning in Milwaukee.
