Hello Ron, in picture 3, there appears to be what looks like the remains of a maker's or proof mark, just above the lanyard ring (I think I can see a faint "G"). This could be a trick of the light, or some other scratches and dents - can you get a better picture of it?
George.

Hi, can you possibly post up a couple of pics?
George.

Mike,
Are you still there? The revolver you have looks very nice and does have the low hammer. Have you taken the gun completely apart yet? To get the mainspring out (after removing the two-part grips), place a small block of wood under the grip frame, near the spring recess cut-out, place a ...

VonVladimir,
Don Ware also states (earlier in his book, on page 67)
"... New Model cylinders (identified by the safety notches) or with cylinders that did not have matching serial numbers. "
Here he is referring to Elliot and Beals Army models, but looks like serial numbers were stamped on cylinders ...

Jim, thank you for the welcome. You have a very nice display. Because of English Gun Laws, I'm not able to have my ...

VonValidmir, thank you - we now have some debate. I have borrowed a copy of that book, but found it was more concerned with sales and contract history, with only a very small portion, towards the end, about "hardware".
The cylinder in my photo, taken from my 30022 Serial Numbered .44, also shows ...

Mick, I'm attaching a picture of my repro NMA .44, made in 1978 (decoded from the Italian stampings). Made for the Navy Arms Co. N.J. by Pietta.
Note the 3 digit code "piece parts" numbers on grip frame and trigger guard.
Also note the short guard "tang". My cylinderhas got a different part number ...

Could the cylinder be a replacement?

There are no serial numbers on the Remington New Model Army cylinders.On none of them ,exept on convertet ones for metalic cartridges.
Sometimes there is a conversion number on the cylinder.Like this one on the picture.
Just shows what the "experts" on ...

Mick,
Welcome to the forum - you got about the same welcome as I did on my first posting (not a lot).
It doesn't look as if your example is an original. The photo of the exposed grip frame shows 3 recesses that look as if they were from a modern mould casting. This area should have been level. The 3 ...

I've transferred most of this from my first introductory posting - bought the revolver a couple of weeks ago.
I've done some preliminary research and know, from its S/N 30022, that it was manufactured in August 1863.
The majority of the inspector's stamps are the letter "A", in a slightly Italic ...

First post seems to have worked, so here is my "introductory" post.
Last week I bought my 2nd .44 NMA, at an auction at the Bisley Shooting Centre in the UK (where I am from). I've done some preliminary research and know, from its S/N 30022, that it was manufactures in August 1863.
The majority of ...

Hello,
I attempted a first post over the weekend, with info on my new purchase. Whilst doing a "preview" prior to submitting, I was returned to the now empty "form". Assuming this was part of the "first post" moderation I waited. Nothing has happened, so I am testing again with a shorter and simpler ...
