Beware of scammers.

I own a high serial number Remington 44, serial 88,781. Do you think it ever seen combat?

Thank you for that information. I wish there were more books on civil war guns
out there.

My wife and I were on a tour of the south, and we visited several Civil War battlefields.
I also, own the Remington 1858 pistol, that were issued to the officers.( I believe)

Did both sides, Union and Confederates, have this gun? Or was it only issued to the Union?

I've been looking for a book on ...

Thanks for replying Bill. Have the same with the frame. Right side of the barrel has "W" stamped, and
on the left side there is a "P" stamped.

I own a 1858 Remington in 44 caliber. On one side of the cylinder - - there is a letter "J" and

Any info would be appreciated.

Does anyone know where to purchase a wood case for the 1858 model Remington?

Does anyone know where to purchase a presentation case for my 1858 Remington?
Saw a few websites, but they were selling for over $200. Are there many places that
sell these cases?

Hello Group -
My name is Mike Lanska, and I live north of LA. I've been looking for a Remington 1858 New Army revolver for sometime now.
I finally found one in Arizona, and drove back to pick it up. The serial is #88xxx, and still has about 60% of its original finish, and
inspection stamps all over ...
