Product Overview
This model was produced by the historical Remington Company at Ilion, New York when the Civil War had commenced. It was never distributed to any army regiment. Probably the gun was supposed to be delivered to several light infantry corps, called Zouaves. The good features of the gun were discovered by military surplus traders and collectors from the end of the 1800's. The US Model 1863 features brass bands and the multi-leaf rear sight. The lock shows the Eagle stamp and the "US" letters in front of the hammer.
