If we're going to pick nits the correct name is Remington New Model.

You're absolutely correct, my apologies. Below is the barrel rollmark from mine. The inspector marks on mine are "A" on the barrel and trigger guard, "R" on the charging handle, "W" on the frame and "P" on the cylinder (all I could easily find, there may be more).

With all the good information I would have to say this is the real deal. But I'm not going to buy it as I want a shooter more than something to look at and say "look what I've got, it's the real thing".

If anyone is interested and wants the guys phone number I'll give it to you by pm.

Easyest way to find out if it's real, take out one of the screws and see if it's metric or standard !!! Metric is European mfgr.
