1860 Remington Beals' .36 cal Navy?? (images added
Greetings from upstate NY...I was recently asked to catalog and clean a series of handguns for a colleague who knows nothing about firearms. I am no expert, but I think I have, in my possession, an original Remington NAVY. Army? Could this be?
The details are as follows:
Top of octagonal barrel is stamped
Beals' Patent Sept, 14, 1858
Manufactured by Remingtons' Ilion, NY
BBL = 7 3/8" (measured from muzzle to front of cylinder)
There are no caliber or serial numbers on this firearm with the exception of a letter "K" on the grip frame and the number "761", located on trigger guard tab, underside of barrel and grip frame.
It is a blackpowder and percussion
6-shot revolver
Wooden pistol grips (walnut I believe)
trigger guard appears to be brass
front blade sight and rear notch sight along entire top of frame
Any information would be greatly appreciated

Thank you...I think I have it figured out now :-)0 -
Yes. That looks like an original Remington-Beals Navy. 0 -
By cleaning I hope you mean nothing more than wiping them down with a oiled cloth 0 -
Is there a way to ascertain the value of this firearm? 0 -
From what I can see, and assuming it works properly, probably $1000 or so. Put it up for auction right here and find out for sure. 0
