NOT A REMINGTON-BEALS REVOLVER. THIS IS A GENUINE, AUTHENTIC, ANTIQUE REMINGTON 1863 NEW MODEL ARMY MADE IN 1863 AND USED IN THE CIVIL WAR (ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE MODEL 1858). SERIAL NUMBER 88880 ON BOTTOM OF BARREL UNDER LEVER LATCH. 44 BP PERCUSSION. 6 SHOT. OCTAGON BARREL. ORIGINAL WALNUT WOOD GRIPS. CORRECT VISIBLE FAINT 3 LINE ADDRESS BARREL MARKINGS ON BARREL. CORRECT MILITARY MARKINGS ON LEFT SIDE OF  FRAME AND UNDER TRIGGER GUARD. NO SERIAL NUMBER ON CYLINDER (REMINGTON DID NOT ALWAYS PUT A SERIAL NUMBER ON ALL OF THEIR NEW MODEL 1863's.) AFTER THE WAR, APPARENTLY A GUNSMITH ALTERED THE BARREL FROM 8 INCHES TO 7 INCHES (PROBABLY FOR HOLSTER USE, WHICH WAS COMMON IN THOSE DAYS.) IN HALF COCK, THE CYLINDER ROTATES LIKE IT SHOULD. IN FULL COCK, THE CYLINDER CAN BE MANUALLY TUURNED (THIS CAN BE FIXED.) IT IS A PRIME SPECIMEN REMINGTON FROM THE CIVIL WAR ERA AND BEYOND. AROUND 1870 THE GUN MADE ITS WAY TO EUROPE AND WAS USED IN THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR. AFTER THAT, IT WAS USED IN THE TURKISH WARS. EVENTUALLY, IT LANDED INTO THE HANDS OF A U.S. NAVY MILITARY OFFICER SERVING OVERSEAS. AFTER RETURNING TO AMERICA, HE HAD THIS REVOLVER AND 300 OTHER GUNS SHIPPED TO HIS HOME IN ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND. AFTER HIS DEATH IN 2011, HIS WIFE HIRED AN EXPERT IN ANTIQUE FIREARMS TO EVALUATE ALL OF THE GUNS AND DETERMINE THEIR VALUE, ETC. THE ANTIQUE GUN COLLECTOR PURCHASED THIS GUN FROM THE WIDOW AND I PURCHASED IT FROM HIM (HE IS A FRIEND AND FELLOW COLLECTOR.) IT IS IN ROUGH CONDITION, BUT A GOOD, OLD REMINGTON CIVIL WAR REVOLVER THAT HAS A LOT OF HISTORY. I BOUGHT THE GUN FOR COLLECTING ONLY. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE GUN APART. IT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL, GENUINE AND AUTHENTIC. SHIPS FOR $25.00 TO BUYER DIRECTLY. NO FFL. THIS GUN WOULD BE WORTH A LOT MORE IF THE BARREL HAD NOT BEEN ALTERED AND IT WAS IN BETTER CONDITION, BUT IT IS STILL A GOOD DEAL. I CAN DO LAY-A-WAY. NO TRADES. FOR COLLECTING ONLY. NO SHIPMENTS OVERSEAS.
