very nice!
the R & S with the spiller & burr influenced the Remington design and i kinda remember, but may be wrong that designers from R & S and S&W also worked with Remington's on design.
looks to me the grip angle maybe better than other revolvers of the time.
does the cylinder have the safe notches where the hammer can be placed so it won't rest on a cap like the remington 1858? i could not see clearly enough in the photo.
very nice one of my favorites from that era....enjoy
