From what I can see from the pictures the ram looks correct for a Remington-Beals Navy model but the winged end of the cylinder pin looks like it is missing. The Navy model is a 6 shot 36 cal. single action revolver with an octagonal barrel of 7 1/2 inch, barrel markings read BEALS PATENT SEPT.14, 1858(next line)MANUFACTURED BY REMINGTON ILION N.Y. Serial numbers started at #1 and went in to 14-15,000 with some number overlap with the 1861 Navy. The Navy returned 1000 of the percussion beals in 1875 and had then converted to 38 CF cartridge revolvers.
