    Default Remington and Sons "New Model" Help???!

    I was given this as a gift from my grandfather who passed away a few years ago, i have no idea what this EXACTLY is (Model name, worth, etc).

    The top of the barrel reads:

    Patented Sept. 14 1858. March 17 18**(cant read last 2 numbers because they go into the body) E. Remington & Sons 1 Lion, New York U.S. NEW MODEL

    The Pics are attached.

    Any help would be great, i was unable to find anything on the net about this.

    Thanks,
    adam

    Looks to me to be a Remington 1863 Pocket, 3rd model/generation which means its made of all steel. I think this might be chambered in .32 Rimfire but im not sure. Quite an interesting piece.
    Dont Forget To Give Me Some Good Rep! Thanks!

    Try taking a peek through the Collector's Firearms site and see if it helps you with the information you're looking for.

    I do know that they were manufactured in Ilion, (eye-ell-eye-oh-en) NY.

    Well from the looks of the trigger, I guess they call it a smoot type revolver
