Hello, I have a Remington 1858 but I am not sure exactly when it was made.
After surfing the web, none of the pics match it. On top of the barrel it is labeled, "Beals Patent 1858 Manufactured By RemingtonS Illon N.Y". Yes there is definitely an "S" at the end of Remington. The serial on the bottom of the barrel looks like "4032 X".

My concern is the shape of the loading arm..
