Interestingly, here’s another one with blued components, including the saddle ring, and weak upper markings, as nickeled. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/antique-rifles---single-shot/superb-remington--quot-baby-saddle-ring-carbine-quot---44-40-rolling-block.cfm?gun_id=1...

Just came across this thread. Were the baby carbines made over several years, or was just one batch made. The number made in any given year is based on shipping records, and not on actual production. It takes too much time and effort to set up a production line for any specific model. only to make ...

Well, the bankruptcy was in 1888. These Baby Carbines were produced 1892 to 1902. So is there ANY way to differentiate at least some as being, if not pre 1899/post 1898, then prior to a specific year prior to 1899? Maybe pre 1894 examples are different than later ones in some regard, for example?

The question is with regards to the BABY carbines. I don't believe any were military. They were produced or sold 1892 to 1902. However, presumably receivers were forged in batches, all at once in 1892 or perhaps on multiple occasions, maybe all before 1899, thereby making all of these antique? Of co...

Are all, some, or none of these antique--that is, pre-1899 production? Note: Classification is based on the manufacture date of the frame, and not when fully assembled or when shipped. If some are classified as antique and others are not, how does one differentiate between the antique and non-antiqu...

And something of interest... The residence of Helen Hartley Jenkins, 1860 to 1934, daughter of Marcellus Hartley, located in Norfolk, Connecticut: https://qpublic.schneidercorp.com/Application.aspx?AppID=1007&LayerID=20386&PageTypeID=4&PageID=8913&Q=443062106&KeyValue=700 https:/...

Okay, my insane work schedule, while still insane, became a little less so as of today. I have not given up on this idea for a book and hopefully can begin in earnest. Does anyone know If the papers of Marcellus Hartley still exist, and, if so, where. The Library of Congress and Yale University are ...

The bottom of the left grip is stamped 44, which indicates it is chambered in .44 WCF. So, either the grip was stamped 44 when converted, which seems unlikely, but possible, or it was originally chambered in .44 WCF and stamped 44 at the time of production.

Hello, I just purchased a 1875 Remington revolver in .44 Remington CF serial number 14227. I'm having a difficult time removing the cylinder pin. I don't see any catch to release. For example my Colt single action has a screw on the frame which holds the pin in and must be removed. What has to be d...

After much thought, I am thinking of attempting to write a book on the Remington 1875, 1888, and 1890 revolvers. Here are some hurdles, but anything is possible: Not much original primary source material out there. Not insurmountable, but would prove helpful. I am unpublished. I have a professional ...

Is archival material available relative to 19th Century production and business practices? That is, primary source material.

Are there any good books on these models out there, even out of print?

"Back in the day", for competition purposes, at what distance(s) would this pistol have been fired at?

Any problems firing modern .22 Short rounds in this firearm?

Although this is a Remington Model 1901, the frame is pre-1899, and it is considered to be an "antique". This corrects my first post, where it is claimed to be post-1898: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24319
