Welcome from the Researching Civil War Records and Ancestry forum. It's likely someone will come along here to help you, but if not then, as @Lubliner recommended, you might want to start a thread on the Small Arms forum
Thank you i did put it there as well. All the best. 😃
 
Welcome From THE Heart Of Dixie. Be sure to stop by the Weapons & Ammo and Vicksburg forums.
 
Very Nice Remington. It has all the markings it should (all matching) its not listed in the SRS. There were roughly 22,000 of these produced. The Navy purchased 4344 and the Army bought around 1500. If it has the anchor on top of the barrel and cartouche's on the grips it would bring a premium.

Hi, thank you for your reply. There is no anchor on the barrel or cartouche on the grips. There is a mark on the brass trigger guard i don’t know what it is it’s on that image with 9 pictures. I thought only those purchased by the government have inspection marks. What does it mean if it’s not listed in the SRS? Do you know month and a year of manufacture? Could have been used in the civil war? And any idea of value? Thank you
 
Your Remington .36 caliber with a 7 3/8" barrel. The New Model serial range starting at 24246 in 1863. They were produced thru 1875.
Thank you, do you know which month in 1863 production started and how many are roughly produced per month?
 
Well shipments could have had a mix of old and new, as entries do not specify. The safety notch on the New Model was patented on March 17. 1863, so thay puts it after that date. A chart shows in 1863 that 3194 were delivered. This info comes from John McAulay's "Civil War Pistols of the Union". So just guessing I would put it 1st quarter of 1864.
 
According to REMINGTON ARMY AND NAVY REVOLVERS 1861 –1888 book by Donald L Ware
records of shipments to the Bureau of Ordnance (Navy) stop in December of 1865 at serial number 33,600.
When we work out around 200 per month being made going backwards from December of 1865, serial number 28904 makes it roughly being made around middle December of 1863. I know old and new was mixed and rejected ones that failed inspection were swapped as well. I am just thinking could this one be part of deliveries in the first part of 1864 and used in the civil war until the end of the war april 1865?

Those are Remington's in house inspectors. The anchor and the cartouche's were military inspecting and acceptance marks. These would have been the ones that were purchased by the US goverment.

Mine is serial #22803 and has a faint cartouche on the left side only (interesting my Colt 1860 has them on both sides). So UVC are you saying this is one of the 1500 the Army purchased?
