Re: 1858 NMA - Authenticity question

It does have cylinder pin, but it seems to be replacement. It lacks the part you grab to pull it out, and because of that I struggled so far to remove it. As to why it might be not working, I at least found one problem. When I took out trigger guard I noticed that hammer and hand (i think that's how...

Re: 1858 NMA - Authenticity question

Thanks for reply! If it's authentic, then that's enough for me. I knew it was in rough shape when I was buying it and even if it will never work again I'm fine with it.

1858 NMA - Authenticity question

Hi, first time poster here. I recently bought Remington new model army on auction, but I am not sure if its authentic or not. I believe some parts were replaced, and I don't mind it that much but I still have some suspicions. First of all, inscription on barrel says: "PATENTED SEPT. 14. 1858' &...
