1858 Remington History and cool stories.

Buffalow Bill was the most famous advocate of the 1858 . Claimed it never failed him.
I stole this shot off the internet from his Wiki page . Looks like two 1858's on the antlers, another 1858 without a loading lever. Possibly a cartridge conversion? 51 navy? No clue what the lower rifle is? the upper one looks like some kind of front stuffer big bore Hawken? the photo was dated 1871. looks like more pistols for faster reloads to me

Probably easier to understand your excitement if you included the photograph you talking about.

Notice that like the photo of Billy The Kid, the image is reversed.
