What’s Included
- Armi San Marco Remington New Model Army .44 percussion revolver
This revolver is a faithful Armi San Marco reproduction of the Remington New Model Army, built as a single-action percussion design with a solid top strap frame and a removable cylinder pin. The six-chamber percussion cylinder and under-barrel loading lever support traditional cap-and-ball operation.
Construction is all steel for the barrel, frame, and cylinder, finished in a bright polished sheen, paired with a brass trigger guard and two-piece hardwood grip panels. The barrel is clearly roll-marked "A.S.M. BLACK POWDER ONLY CAL .44 MADE IN ITALY," underscoring its Italian manufacture.
The 8-inch octagonal barrel provides a long sighting radius. Sighting is handled by an adjustable rear notch on the top strap and a tall dovetailed front blade, giving this example fine-tune capability not always seen on earlier patterns.
Proofed in Italy, this revolver bears the star-over-PN black powder proof and the boxed two-letter date code BC, identifying 1993 production. An added detail is the pair of drilled-and-tapped holes on the top barrel flat near the muzzle.
