Re: Is it a Remington?
David, I urge you to reconsider the sit back and hold your opinion comment. If you had not offered your opinion, my comment would not have seen the light of day, and others are sure to benefit from our discussion.

Re: Is it a Remington?
The owner describes the revolver as looking like an 1861, having a 6.5" barrel while New Model Army revolvers are of the 1858 design, and have an 8" barrel. None of the Remington revolvers had serial numbers like G1G64. Now if that serial number was actually 61664, and the caliber was .44,...

Re: Hello and could you help me date my Remington?
The OWA cartouche is attributed to O. W, Ainsworth. A Principal Sub-Inspector. The other smaller single letter markings are typically attributed to unidentified in-process insepectors. I do not have a record of unit distribution.

Re: Engraved 870 Help needed
