It is mistakenly called an 1858 Remington (rather than the 1863 NMA) because Remington put an 1858 patent date on the barrel for some prior designs to the gun.
The Armi San Poualo/Euroarms Remington are allegedly copies of a late version of the Remington Beals model and is the lightest weight, smallest frame of the Remmies I have handled. Their Navy models are built on the same frame as the 44s only with the shorter barrels. The Uberti is closer in appearance to the 1863 NMA with a smoother transition from the frame to the barrel (less of a step down from the frame to the barrel as in the originals).
