This thing just intrigues me...

What I know:

It's a Remington Navy 38 rimfire cartridge conversion. The serial number is 4477 1. I don't know why there's a space in it. It's tight as a new one.

What I think:

The grips appear to be period ivory.

What I'd love to know:

What is it? The barrel address isn't correct for a Beal's model, but without the 1, the serial number is.

Was it in the Civil War?

Is it an actual Remington conversion, or an aftermarket conversion.

 

I sure wish it could talk.

That is cooler than a free dinner every day of the week for a year! At least! Hope you find your answers!

Cool. Where'd you find it?

I just started dragging them out of the safe and really checking them out.

Here's what I found...

It appears to be a post civil war, factory built 38 rimfire; not a conversion as I earlier suspected.

Cool gun. It was a force to be reckoned with back in the day.
