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.

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 110,000 range, we can assume that they are New Model Army (.44 Cal) revolvers. The barrel length should be 8". The single letter markings throughout the balance of the revolvers are in process inspectors marks. With that said, serial number 99893 would have left the Remington factory in Ilion, New York during September 1864 while serial number 1050686 sould have left during October 1864.
We have not located records to show where the firearms were issued during the Civil War so ownership history is not available.
If any of my assumptions are incorrect, all bets are off and we will have to start over with photographs.
Hope this helps,
Mike Strietbeck
