Re: 1858 New Model Army - Serial Number Tracking info?
I do not wish to throw cold h20 on your enthusiasm for tracking the issuance of this revolver , but having spent time researching at the National Archives , you may be in for an exercise of humility and futility. Unless the system has changed radically, the archive does not maintain any records on i...

Re: Remington Creedmore rifle
Matt you are indeed correct, the stamping is light making the serial# 4783. Thank you for your observation. Marlinman93 you too are correct, the serial # would place it in the 1877 time frame. (see photo) I have also attached a Remington advertisement from the Sept. 1877 issue of " The National...

Re: Remington Creedmore rifle
they are located on the left side of frame . Last patent date is Sept. 9, 1873, so mfg. would have been either late 1873 or early to mid 1874?

Re: rear sight
Excellent, it appears that pvt.Haseltine is sporting that medal in the 1895 dated photo. Out of curiosity, he appears to be wearing a cross on his left arm. Perhaps a medical person? As you can see I am having some issues on photo orientation for which I apologize.
