Well that Remington I bought off armslist came in the mail today. The outside isn't as rough as I expected, and the bore is near perfect

save for a tiny bit of light surface pitting halfway down the barrel at the 7'o'clock position from the muzzle. The pitting is on the lands only. I think I may refinish the cylinder, barrel and loading lever....but will leave the frame the worn gray, I kinda like it that way

<pictures posted in just a few minutes > After I get the new camera going

One thing is the frame is completely void of any markings or proofs. The barrel is the only thing marked. Left flat reads: BLACK POWDER ONLY-MADE IN ITALY-CALIBER 44 Top flat reads: NAVY ARMS Co. RIDGEFIELD N.J.

No other markings anyplace, Pietta or Uberti?
