Looking for photos and drawings

I am gathering drawing photos and whatever other information is available in preparation for carving a replica of a 1861 Remington .44 caliber revolver. I have found many excellent side view photos of the firearm but can find no front or rear views or anything that I can use to scale the photos.

Do you have any suggestions where I could inquire to get more information?

Thanks in advance,

Tom Maier

  Reads like you wish to attain the utmost in accuracy in your artwork, so:
  
  Replica revolver. Best if you had a representation 'in hand' when you do your workup.
  
  Below is a link to such of which I speak. Others may/will chime in as to whether there are plastic versions available or drawings. I wouldn't know, as I usually handle the real thing.
  
  And please post a photo of the finished artwork. Good luck! Joe

  Tom - Please watch for an e-mail from me. I found some nice pics of a Remington revolver from various angles but I'm unable to post them here.

  Thanks, Guys. I appreciate the items you posted.
  
  I'll be sure to post the finished piece. But, if it anything is like my Springfield 45-70 rifle, don't wait up for it. This is gonna take awhile! :-)
  
  If people are interested in a closer look at the rifle. Let me know, I can take some more detailed photos. The big problem is that it is...well...big. Just a tad over 51" long.
