Have been lurking for a while and have now discovered that I need some help from other forum members. Last week I bought an 1858 (1863) Remington 44 ca. made by E.N. Santa Barbara in Spain. She is a beautiful revolver and fits my hand almost as well as my Colt Navy.
Here are a couple of photos of her:
Have not found much information online or at the library about this Marque. I have noticed some other forum members that have the same revolver and hope that they might have some answers or advise.
My questions are:
1. Since Santa Barbara no longer makes this revolver, which current manufactuer is best to use for replacement springs and other spare parts?
2. Which replacement cylinders fit best? The current cylinder has some nice engraving on it and I would like to not use it as a primary cylinder.
3. Which nipple works best and what size/thread count. The current nipples/cones are a bit mushroomed and need replacing.
Thanks in advance and I hope to report back once I have taken the ole girl to the range.
Regards,
Jamie
