Good day.
I recently purchased Remington New Model 1858 revolver
There are several proof marks with letters R and S on both sides of revolver.
But there is also C stamp on the left sides wich indicates as I understand that the revolver was condemned.
But there is also cartouche on the left grip indicating the revolver was accepted by the Ordnance Department.
So, I would like to understand what was the history of the revolver? Was it accepted by the Army or it was moved to civil sale?
Will be greatfull for your reply.
Regards.
Leo.
