Huh.

I'm almost wondering if the loading ram was "custom trimmed" to fit the holster, which was either for another gun or somebody wanted a "California Slim" profile holster which isn't really possible with a Remmie '58?

Very odd! I would look very closely at how the edge is finished on the area where the normal Remmie "web" would have been...see if it matches the rest of the gun or might have been reworked by hand?

The front sight appears period-correct for a Remmie. What's the barrel length? Is it an original-type length? It appears to be...

I'm not an expert in old Remmies...you need somebody who is, to try and ID whether that rammer pattern was normal in some variants. For all I know it might have been.
