Default Remington Police New Model .36 caliber percussion revolver (pics)

A relative of mine lent this to me so I could take some pictures of it...



It's a rusty beauty - based on the stampings on the barrel and my basic Internet research, this appears to be a Remington Police New Model, in .36 caliber, percussion black powder revolver, made somewhere in the 1870's. Serial # is 33XX. I've read that there were between 17,000 and 18,000 of these made. Most of them were converted to later fire rimfire, some by the factory and some aftermarket. The lockwork seems fine and it's got a fairly crisp trigger pull. I was careful not to damage it during trigger pull testing, as I know that you don't want the hammer slamming into the percussion cap nipples. This revolver has been in the family for a long time and is fairly rusty in the bore.

Does anyone know anything else about these? I welcome all comments and inputs.
