Civil War Remington new army 44 revolver value
I have an old Remington civil war revolver. Made in 1864 I believe. It functions fine but doesn’t have much finish left. I can still make out the cartouche on the left grip and it has all the inspector stamps in right places. The barrel serial number and frame number is off by about 100. Frame is 1043xx and barrel is 1042xx. Barrel still has proper stamping. Anyone have any idea what it is worth?

In the shape that yours is in, a dealer would ask probably $1400 to $1600 for it. I recently bought one, serial #33XXX (1863), with military markings and a faint cartouche at the Chattanooga, TN Relic Show in East Ridge, TN. , in July, for $1200.00. Mine is a little better condition than yours, but not much, but it is all matching numbers and mechanically excellent. I would not take less than $1000.00 if I were you. Just my opinion; others may differ. Good luck.

Looks like a beauty. Am sure a collector would pay the $1000 or more. Great to own such a fine piece of history. Wonder how rare a Remington pistol is compared to the Colt 1860 model?

From the fall of Sumter to Appomatox, Colt's Armoury turned out a prodigious quantity of war material. A total of 129,730 Colt's Army revolvers (New Model Revolving Holster Pistols, .44 caliber) were delivered to the general government for issue during the war. Between 1863 and the end of production in 1875, Remington manufactured an estimated 132,000 .44 caliber New Model Army Revolvers. The Ordnance Department in 1863 took deliveries of 31,003 New Model Revolvers, 58,003 in 1864, and 20,000 in 1865, for a total of more than 109,000 revolvers during the war years. Starr Arms revolvers and Whitney Navy .36 caliber revolvers were also used by the Union.

I’ve often wondered why the Colts retrieve such a premium over the Remingtons. I feel Remington made the superior revolver.

The 1858 Remington IS a lot stronger, and you can swap out a spent cylinder for a fresh one pretty quickly. I currently posses my great great grandfather's. Has his initials on the grip too. 39th Illinois Volunteers.
