I am not psitive of the dates and I am not an expert on Rems.. But it is my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong so I can learn too) that the original 58 had no cylinder notches for the hammer to rest in between the nipples..this came in 61??(not sure of dates) then shortly after that,, a the Mainspring screw was added to the grip frame. So these are sure indicators to look for when considering authenticity.
