Hello,
Welcome to the RSA.
From one Old Coot to another. Your revolver was manufactured at the Remington Plant in Utica, Ny in May of 1864. As for the two I's in front of the serial number, I am not sure how they were made. I have heard they were a part of the frame casting operation but I have only seen one not two.

Regards,

Bill
