Hello all,
New to this forum - just got an 1858 Remmie ( a Pietta ) at the Central Florida gun show this weekend. Looking forward to shooting it and showing it off in relation to my work as a historic tour guide here in Saint Augustine ( I do a Civil War impression, largely for 4th graders ). I was wondering if anyone knows if a video, DVD, whatever, exists that presents the disassembly technique for the 1858. Also, I got it as part of a "starter package" from Cabelas - and it looks like this package has a few years on it ( the gun does appear to be unfired ). Is there a way to tell how old this gun might be from a serial number or other markings?
Thanks - Matt
