2nd Gen 1861 Navies use the same Treso nipples as Uberti's. Did you try to run the cylinder around a second time to pop the caps? CCI #10 caps have the smallest inside diameter and take a little push to seat correctly. I've found that Remington #10s work well on original 2nd Gen nipples - and Tresos. If you can't find any Remingtons, CCI #11s would be a better fit than the 10s.
Replacement screws can be obtained from VTI. The screws are also the same as a Uberti '61 Navy. Get the hardened screw set from VTI. They're a little pricey; but you won't have to worry about screws again.
Serial number range for the 2nd Gen 1861s was 40000 thru 43165. The complete serial number is stamped on the barrel, frame, triggerguard, cylinder, arbor, and wedge. It is also penciled in on the bacstrap channel of the grips. Only the last 4 digits of the serial number are stamped on the backstrap. From the picture - it's a second Gen.
