That's a Beauty there Pohill and Glad to hear about the apraisal :O)

I have an 1861 Old army and it wasn't a transition but it was only made a couple years ...mine was made in 1862 and there are no safety notches on the Old Army Models... 1863 was the 2nd one made for the Federals and they accepted and issued them in the Civil War that would be the Rem known to most as the 1858 NMA ... in .44 & .36 cal.
