What’s Included
- Armi San Marco Remington New Model Army .44 brass-frame engraved cap-and-ball revolver
Built by Armi San Marco in Italy, this New Model Army reproduction follows the 1858 Army pattern with a six-shot percussion cylinder and under-barrel loading lever. It is chambered in .44 caliber and operates in single-action only, staying true to the classic design.
The revolver is constructed with an 8-inch octagonal blued steel barrel and a blued steel cylinder. The frame, backstrap, and trigger guard are brass, pairing traditional materials with period styling. Sights are fixed, with a front blade and a rear notch integral to the top strap.
Scroll engraving highlights the brass and steel surfaces across the cylinder, barrel flats, loading lever web, frame, backstrap, and trigger guard. The combination of blued steel and bright brass provides clear contrast for the engraved details.
Factory markings include the Gardone proof crest, PN black-powder proof, and 'MADE IN ITALY' stamp. The boxed date code 'AT' identifies 1988 production, aligning with the revolver’s Italian origin and reproduction status.
