For sale is a Uberti 1858 Improved New Army imported by Navy Arms Co. in .38 special. Serial number- 27805. This pistol is in great condition and has an R&D .38 Special conversion cylinder. Though many percussion revolvers were on the market before during and after the Civil War no firearm offered such a challenge to the dominant Colt revolvers as did the 1858 Remington. Produced in both .36 caliber (Navy) and in the more popular .44 caliber the 1858 Revolver was considered by many to be every bit the gun a Colt was and then some. It is said that soldiers of the Civil War not only preferred it by far as their choice of sidearm but would actually trade a handful of Colts for one Remington New Army. Note: the loading lever and the barrel have a different serial number than the grip.
