Re: UPDATED:1875 Remington unknown markings
Ob, Thanks for the additional pictures. Your revolver is the first one I have seen with the batch number on the cylinder. It may have been placed there when the gun was taken apart to mill the frame bevels. The bevel shown in the picture with the number “8” on the frame is about twice as thick as th...

Re: UPDATED:1875 Remington unknown markings
Hello ob98, The 8 on the left side of the frame looks to me like it might be a rack number. I have never seen one on the side of the frame like that, however I have seen a couple of 1875’s with a rack number on the bottom of the frame. I do not believe the 152 on the back of the cylinder is a batch ...

Re: Special Remington or not?
Hello Nils, Would it be possible to get a picture of the back of the cylinder from your revolver and a side view of the firing pin. I have a non-Remington Factory cylinder cap conversion of a New Model Army which has been converted to 44 Remington center fire. The nipples have been removed and the h...

Re: Remington 1858 New Model
Hello bob, Some pictures of your revolver would help, but from the information you gave it is most likely an original New Model Army. The small letters on the revolver are inspection marks. If the gun was accepted by the Ordnance Department there would have been the Principal sub-Inspectors cartouch...

Re: New model army .44 revolver sn: 54056
Hello Hudd,
Your revolver was manufactured in January of 1864. If it has a cartouche on the left grip panel it was purchased by the Ordnance Department from Remington. Unfortunately there are no records of whom it was issued to.

Re: Help! Reminton 1858 New Model Army .44 Caliber
Your revolver was made in March of 1864. You should be able to take the grip panels off fairly easy. Just remove the grip screw from the left side of the grips and the panels should come off. From your second picture it looks like there is a space between the toe of left grip and the frame where you...

Re: Model 1875 S/N 10
Hello John, I am not aware of any of any Government inspection stamps on the metal of any 1875 revolvers. The Egyptian contract revolvers were stamped with a cartouche on the left grip. The two cartouches used are FR for Franklin Root who inspected the first approximately eight thousand revolvers an...

Groucho, I have heard of the Springfield Research Service but have never tried to use it.
