Re: 1863 Remington New Army .44 with grip notches

Since there is no written history on these four Civil War revolvers, we can only speculate if they were used in actual engagements.

Re: 1863 Remington New Army .44 with grip notches

He had found these four revolvers in a drawer and had no idea if his father or grandfather took them in. They were dust covered from sitting in the gun shop. Two were .44 New Army models, one of whi...
