It does have cylinder pin, but it seems to be replacement. It lacks the part you grab to pull it out, and because of that I struggled so far to remove it.
As to why it might be not working, I at least found one problem. When I took out trigger guard I noticed that hammer and hand (i think that's how ...

Re: 1858 NMA - Authenticity question
Thanks for reply!
If it's authentic, then that's enough for me. I knew it was in rough shape when I was buying it and even if it will never work again I'm fine with it.
The grip does look weird, at first i though it was unfinished (I attached picture showing it bit better), as if they 'forgot' to ...

Re: 1858 NMA - Authenticity question
Well, At least I can still return it. As to serial number on trigger guard, it actually has it - I just looked on wrong side.

1858 NMA - Authenticity question
Hi, first time poster here. I recently bought Remington new model army on auction, but I am not sure if its authentic or not. I believe some parts were replaced, and I don't mind it that much but I still have some suspicions. First of all, inscription on barrel says:
"PATENTED SEPT. 14. 1858'
"E ...
