Purchased Remington NMA 44 CF conversion

Post by jason60chev »

I was hoping to gain some further information, about this revolver and its markings, before now.
I have gone ahead and purchased this revolver, after several message exchanges for details, with its
seller. This will go well with my original Remington New Model Police conversion, that I purchased, last
November, in Yuma, Az.
Still welcome any comments, thoughts or insights into this conversion......ID of markings, when this type of
conversion may have been done. Is it factory or by someone else?

Thanks,
Jason


Hello,
I am considering purchasing a Remington New Model Army conversion to 44 Center Fire.

Serial number 93040 under barrel and at bottom left grip frame, places manufacture about August 1864, I think.

Under the barrel, near the frame is an opposing "45", while "45" appears on the bottom left grip frame near the serial.
Any idea of this number's meaning? Sequence number of conversions,maybe? An original mark?

An "H" stamp just behind recoil shield on left side.
A "D" on the left side of barrel, just forward of frame.
An "R" at left side of loading lever.
Serial 93040 under barrel with opposing "45"
What looks like a sideways "P" at right side of frame, just forward ofcylinder.
A "W" on trigger guard, just behind screw
What looks like a "9" on the trigger guard lug.
Barrel markings worn, some of the middle line still legible.
Three what appear to be filed notches at rear of right grip

Barrel rifling looks very good. Seller states that lockup is tight, no cylinder wobble and indexing good. There are no visible markings on the cylinder, but the line where the new rear breech was added can be seen. Bolt locking slots look good.

Cylinder will chamber a modern 44 Colt cartridge case. I would like to fire this revolver using black powder and heel based bullets. Firing pin does not look bad.

Any information and evaluation comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!
