Hello,

the trigger guard has a L. The serial number is engraved inside the trigger guard.
Barrel : L left side W right side
Loading lever arm : S left side

Thanks.

Hello !

I have watched the military cartouche on the left grip with a big magnifying glass.

I compared with the grip of photos of RSA forum. It is registered BH on my left grip.

Hi,
Your revolver was made in April of 1864. The letters are government inspection marks. The BH cartouche is from Benjamin Hannis, one of the principal sub-inspectors who inspected Remington revolvers. There is no documentation as to which military unit the revolver was issued.

Hello,

Thank you for all that information.



Following the attacks on Paris , I thank the American people for tributes I 've seen on TV.

Merci de votre soutien.
