Who built....

[Dale Lilly]

... the 1858 Remington 44 sold by Lyman in the 70s? Polecat

We need photos of the datecode, any manufacturer/importer marks, and complete photos of both sides of the revolver. Look everywhere on the revolver, to include the underside of the barrel, the gripframe, the wood grip panels on the underside, the frame under the wood, and the cylinder pin. If you find numbers on various parts that don't coincide with the serial number, those are assembly numbers for factory use in the assembly of the revolver to keep all relevant fitted parts together.

Insofar as I know, no one has a complete database of all C&B revolvers produced by the myriad of Northern Italian manufacturers from 1959 to ~2002 when Pietta, Uberti, and Pedersoli emerged as the only three manufacturers extant.

I failed to make myself clear, sorry. I had the revolver in the 70s and 80s. I sold it and regretted doing so. Dale

The only way to tell is to have the actual firearm in your hand and find/see the makers mark.
Lyman has never produced traditional firearms in the USA, they have all been imported, primarily from Italy.
There are several significant Italian producers that have and are still supplying the market.
As "sourdough" has said without the actual firearm in hand,, it's up in the air who they bought from that year(?)

Thank you. I guess I assumed that the particular model would be built by the same manufacturer. I really loved that gun ... sold it when I moved to Mexico for a few years. Gracias. Dale

All the Lymans I own/have owned were manufactured by Armi San Paolo. But like the guys mentioned, without having it in hand, it's only an educated guess.

No way for me to be certain but I'm thinking Uberti was making them for Lyman in the mid-70s.

Have had several Lyman marked revolvers made by and marked with the Uberti logo. The one I liked best was a Remington .36. which had assembly numbers on the cylinder, loading lever flat, etc.

Do not remember having a Remington .44 Lyman marked built by Uberti. Think I had an 1860 Army Lyman marked Uberti. It was a long time ago, 1970's - 1980's.

My memory is that the early Lyman revolvers were made by Uberti. Lyman switched to Armi San Paolo and these are probably the most common.

my 70's era Lyman 1858 navy 36 wears the Uberti stamp. Sorry I don't have the .44

Thanks guys. Remembering the quality I think Uberti but I would like to find another. I have a brass framed one on display in a glass case with a powder flask, etc. Thanks again. Dale
