Better get the rope!
I got this one at auction three weeks ago. It is a Dixie Gun Works Remington (AH/1981), marked ".44 CAL NEW MODEL ARMY", stamped DGG (Armi San Paolo) on the underside of the barrel hidden by the load lever. Assembly numbers (113) appear on the barrel, cylinder pin, frame under grips, and grips. It has a turn ring on the cylinder but the bolt clears early upon cocking until full cock. It is a Beals because there are only less than two barrel threads exposed, unlike the "classic" 1858 revolver. I got it at what I consider a fair price these days ($320). The gun appears not to have been fired, the load lever is somewhat stiff, and the cylinder pin appears to have never been moved.

I decided to venture beyond my Colt Navy "type" fixation after seeing one on another forum with a conversion cylinder. After conferring with our Richard, he gave me cylinder measurements of his Remington Beals percussion cylinder and his Taylor (Howell) Uberti conversion cylinder, and all match my revolver. When the new stimulus checks come in I believe I will buy one. Taylor's has one for $240 and Midway has one for $250.
