Info on Remington Model 1861 Army

(1/2) > >>

Company Man:
I have what appears to be a Remington Model 1861 Army .44 [ Invalid Attachment ]  [ Invalid Attachment ]  [ Invalid Attachment ] . Based on serial number under left grip it was one of the 1st 150 made of this model.
Looks like It has been refinished during its 159 years of existence. No clear marking on the barrel and can only make out 1/2 of serial number on barrel. There is a cartouche on grip indicating military acceptance but it is faint.
looking for any more information that someone may have on this pistol
I am not a Remington collector and so most likely I will be trading this off and want to make sure it is what I think it is so that I can get a value.
thanks in advance.

First off, welcome to the TMA. Secondly, that's a beautiful pistol. Afraid I'm not an expert or anything close. Someone should be along shortly to help with this.

Company Man:
Thanks David,
I hated to join another online forum since I am a member of so many already.
Since this one was a head scratcher on my normal sources for knowledge, it was recommended that I join here and ask the experts.

You might or might not be surprised at the selling price of the pistol.  It is out of stock, so evidently someone thought it worthwhile.

Frankly, I am not much of a revolver enthusiast, so I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Model 1863 Remington.  I thought 1858 was it.  Goes to prove I don't really know all that much.

Don't forget to report back on what you do with the pistol.  Might be an interesting story?

Be well.

Although I have several Remington replicas, I don't know much about the originals.
