I know of no online source of manufacturing dates for Remingtons. I have however compiled a small list of my own. The gun would have been made late in 1863.
The barrel has obviously been replaced, and the triggerguard has been repaired. The cylinder may be the original to the gun, which has been reworked into a cartridge cylinder (but it may also be a replacement).
All changes seem to be of the period (I would guess 1870´s up to the 1890´s).
If the price was right, then it´s a very nice piece of history, congratulations.
Best regards!
