Also known as "Remington Navy Rifle, Model 1870".

Jerry L. Janzen, Bayonets of the Remington Cartridge Period, states, "The US Model 1870 Navy rifle was manufactured by Springfield Armory and a total of 22,013 were produced. However the Navy rejected the first 10,000 rifles because of the rear sight location.  These were sold to Poultney and Trimble, who sold them to France during the Franco-Prussian War.  The remaining 12,000 rifles were delivered to the Navy by June 1871."  It is believed that the yataghan bladed bayonets were made for the 10,000 sold to France and the straight bladed bayonets were made for the 12,000 accepted by the US Navy.
