Re: Remington 1858 information.

I saw your video last night. That serial number as found under the barrel was also applied to the frame, trigger guard, back of cylinder, and also on both grips (in pencil). The "RM" stamps look similar to those seen on Remington and Colt cartridge guns that were later sold to Mexico 1870'...

REM M1858 W/POSSIBLE USAGE BY INDIAN-MEXICAN BORDER RAIDERS

This ranch dates to about 1870, and being 70 miles from the border the residents had to deal with frequent raids from Mexico. After a bloody raid in 1878 cowboys from this ranch were i...
