Good day, Bill.
That's makes sense.
Yes, of course C mark is not large and in the size of all others inspection marks on the pistol.
I read more about C mark and it's big size version.
Now every puzzle solved.
Once again thank you for the useful information and for the answer on the main question ...

Hello Leo,
Are you talking about the small “C” on the left frame above the hammer screw in picture number five?

As far as the cartouche goes, if it is RPB, Don stated that the RPB cartouche has been incorrectly identified as Robert P Berry. He goes on the say this unknown individual also ...

Good day, Daniel and thank you for your reply and good characteristic of my revolver.
After a deep search in Internet I figured out, that there are plenty 1858 Remingtons with C marks and cartouches on the grips.
Few lots I found, which are trading right now and some are located on local websites ...

Made several pics of cartouche in different modes (according to my skills).
I think that I am correct with initials. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221107/ffb8cf24a8e2085fbcd3c38c6ff84347.jpg

Carefully examined cartouche and I think initials are RPB which is for R.P. Barry if I am correct. Maybe I am wrong with initials...
Will be happy to know your opinion.

And last thing I forgot to mention. Serial number under the trigger guard tab missing first “1” number. And other 5 digit “4120X” present. But, of course, you know that.

Hi Lawyer095,

Per Don Ware's book on large frame revolvers: The letter "C" on a part indicates a the part was condemned. The gun was returned to the assembly room, bad parts replaced, and then resubmitted for inspection. Rem made 150,000 Army revolvers, with 116,00 accepted, so there are 34,000 ...

Is that a lanyard ring stud on the butt? If so, it was added after it left the factory. Maybe at that time, some parts were replaced.

Daniel

Yes, it is. I will add more pics.

Hi Again Lawyer,

I forgot to ask, do all 3 serial numbers match? If not, it may have been assembled from various parts. It has been 157 years since your pistol was made, and a lot could have happened to it over those Years.

Daniel
Hello.
Yes. All all the numbers match, including number on frame ...

And almost forgot to mention. Serial number is 141xxx.

Accidentally created the same topic…

Or maybe letter “c” is just inspection mark only and indicating the revolver was accepted by the Ordnance Department?
Once again will be glad to know your opinions.
Regards.
