44 cal new army colt for trade

[Pistol Pete]

If any of you black powder shooters are interested, I have a 44 cal new army model revolver, made in Italy, that I am willing to trade for a working flintlock pistol, preferably 50 cal.

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

Is that a '58 Remington "New Army" model? I don't remember Colt making a "New Army" but I've been out of the ACW stuff awhile and could be wrong. I've had several of both over the years and I prefer the Remingtons over the Colts due to the complete frame vs. the open-top of the Colts.

Just curious.

44 cal new model army is what is stamped on the barrel,??????

[peglegstrick]

The new Army was a Remington pistol - .44 cal - with a top strap ( the frame & barrel is together opposed to the Colts frame which has a breakdown wedge to connect the frame & barrel and is open on the top, no pice of metal over the cylinder). Used to do the Civil War stuf for years.

Hope this helps
