Could that be a tiny touch of rhetorical exaggeration?
Flayderman gives the quantities (all estimates, of course) as:
Beals Army 1,900
Beals Navy 14,500
1861 Army 6,000
1861 Navy 7,000
New Model Army 122,000
New Model Navy 28,000
So what does Flayderman know? Well more than I do, that's for sure.
But who cares! I just want an original Remington percussion revolver!All calibers accepted!
Give it another 50 years or so, and maybe one will turn up here!
