The Remington 1858, as it is popularly known, is a .44 caliber black powder model. It comes with an octagonal 8" barrel - a design feature common to the period - and a 6-round capacity. The pistol's action is percussion, indicative of the era's preference for percussion caps over the flintlock mechanism. The blued finish is the result of an oxidation process used to protect the firearm from rust.
This particular model was distributed by the Richland Arms Co. and is a product of Italy's Armi San Marco, a revered manufacturer renowned for its dedication to details when crafting 19th-century American firearm replicas. The pistol's overall condition is good, with minor wear marks on the bore and some light edgewear and blemishing on the frame. Despite this, the bore rifling remains well-defined, and the gun's smooth walnut grips and sight/optic - a front post with a grooved rear sight - are in good shape.
