The photos are of a revolver given to me 10 years or ago by a Florida neighbor. No history. I laid it on top of the water heater in the garage and that's where its remained.
It is heavily corroded. I used a honing stone on the top flat trying to bring out the stamps somewhat. Some one else has tried removing screws by drilling. Nothing moves but the hammer and oddly enough the trigger will lock and release it. No barrel obstruction, a rod goes to the bottom of the cylinder bore.
I can make out on the top flat...……., what I think is Remington, Sept 14 1858. Underneath that appears to be New York USA .
If there are other markings they are hidden beneath the patina of corrosion and dings. There isn't any loose rust or scale.
Wonder if Rid O Rust would bring out any additional stamps.
