Re: Model 12 info request
What is the serial number used for if not to establish manufacturing date? Keep in mind that the date stamp will only pin down the date to a month and year. That could mean that several thousand like rifles would bear the same date stamp. The serial number would identify each of those rifles for own...

Re: where can i find
Go to the opening page of this website, click on "Parts/Service" and scan the listing. You will find at least three sources for parts for the Model 41, and one of them lists a schematic available on line.
Good Luck,
Good Luck,

Re: Please Help Dating a Remington New Army .44
Roy, If the cartouche is not present, and the fit of the grips are accurate and tight, the best we can do is assume that this revolver was not part of a government shipment, for whatever reason. That being said, the manufacture date should still fall close to the date listed for Government purchased...

Re: Please Help Dating a Remington New Army .44

If you could post a photo of the revolver a...

As a matter of policy, this site does not offer value opinions on firearms. Two avenues you might pursue;
1. Bluebook of gun values
2. Review auction sites for history of sales

Re: Duleing Pistols
Without photographs, the best I can do is make an educated guess based on the serial numbers and the grip stamp (cartouche') "GYEL almost in bubble". With a cartouche (final acceptance mark) being present, we can assume that it was a civil war firearm, and serial numbers in the 95000 thru ...

Re: Duleing Pistols
Post photo's of the guns, as well as description of the markings including serial numbers. If they are Remington, I'm sure you will get your information.
