Description:
The Remington Model 1858, more accurately known as the New Model Army Revolver, was introduced originally in 1860 as the Remington-Beals Army and Navy Revolvers. Improvements in the design led the Remington Model 1861 Army & Navy Revolvers (soon to be known as the “Old Model Army” and “Old Model Navy”). Eventually, feedback from the troops quickly identified some issues which were corrected in the final version, the New Model 1863 Army and Navy revolvers. The name “Model 1858” came about due to the patent date normally found on top of the barrel. Remington’s revolver was advanced for the time as, unlike its Colt-produced counterparts, the Remington featured a full top-strap, giving it greater theoretical strength than the open-top Colts. Shown here is an original New Model Army revolver. Unsurprisingly, it sports a complete lack of finish, which makes sense given both its age and use. More interestingly, there are five notches filed into the top of the barrel. As the coloration of the metal within the notches matches the color of the rest of the barrel, the notches are most likely genuine. The metal itself suggests the pistol was refinished at some point, with most of the markings being wiped out, including the Remington address normally found on top of the barrel. The bore is pitted but still retains much of the original rifling. The inside walls of the cylinder are very thin at the front of the cylinder. On the back of the cylinder, one of the six nipples has a flash hole which is of smaller diameter than the other five. This is likely to be a battlefield or armory replacement. The same is probably true for the barrel stud as well. Another part which may also fit into this category is the cylinder pin which has flat-sided head. Cylinder pins for the New Model Army usually have a sloping taper to the head. I have seen one other 1858 with a cylinder pin similar to ours at ://relicman/weapons/Weapon4263-Revolver-Remington-44cal-Army.html, specifically W1065. The brass trigger guard has a “P” or “R” stamp. I checked the thread sizes on the grip screw, the trigger guard screw, and the loading lever screw. The thread pitch on the grip screw is 24 TPI and on the latter two screws, it is 40 TPI. That the thread pitch of the different screws is in Imperial rather than Metric further shows that this New Model Army is an original rather than a reproduction. The grips are slightly small for the frame, but judging from the back of each grip, it is likely that these may be the original grips or “original” replacements, and they have simply been refinished. This would explain their being slightly undersized. The serial number is stamped in three places (all matching): the left side of the grip frame, under the barrel, and on the trigger guard lug. All of these serial numbers show signs of having been hand stamped, with each digit being stamped one at a time – a good sign indicating an original. Mechanically, the New Model works very well, especially for its age. It has been dated to around February of 1864. This historic pistol comes with an old leather holster (old for its age but much newer than the pistol).
