Help ID Remington 1863 New Model Army?

[HunterC]

I recently had what I think is a Remington 1863 New Model Army come into my possession. Is anyone familiar with this model and be able possible confirm this. The gun shows heavy wear and the barrel legend is almost completely gone. I can make out the start of "Patent", the end of "New York", and what looks like the top of the word "Model". I think the grips and the front sight have been replaced. Serial number is 37022 and matches on the underside of the barrel and on the grip. If it is authentic I think it may have been made around August of 1863? Is any able to confirm any of this? Let me know what you think! Thanks

You have an 1858 Remington, .44 caliber. Looks original to my old eyes.
Great find...but where, price you paid if any...etc.

September of 63. Front sight and grips aren't original.

Can you post pictures of the back side of the grip panels ?

1858 is the patent date of the base pin/ loading lever assembly and not that pistol model made from 1863 and on, no?

They look homemade, they don't fit and the screw is going in from the wrong side.

Just for interest -

Colt was selling their 1860 Model Army (44) to the government for $25/unit (individual pistol). When Remington began production of these, they undercut Colt by half, selling them to the government for $12.50/unit.
