Last week I was looking around on GunBroker and there were a pair of consecutive numbered ASM 1858 Remington new model revolvers. I mentioned to my wife who was near by they would be a nice birthday present and that she could afford them easily. She surprised me and said go ahead and get them if they are in good shape so I contacted the seller and they had been shot a cylinder load in each one and the owner had decided black powder was too much trouble! They had been cleaned, had no rust and they were guaranteed to be in good shape so I got them. Sure enough they are neat and in great shape. I have wads, balls and spent an hour last night making a tool that allows me to pull the nipples for cleaning.
Pretty nice birthday present I'd say and tomorrow I'll try them out during my RO duty day at lunch time. The trigger pull is much lighter than the Colt-Walker I used to have so they should do well.
