Brand new to this forum and have a question regarding a Euroarms 1858 Remington that I picked up awhile back. I have done as much research as I can and have determined that it was built in 1971 (XX7), maker is DGG, marked Euroarms Brescia-Italy, 44 cal New Army Model, Made in Italy under the ramrod along with the DGG initials, no markings anywhere for the blackpowder only warning, serial is 9604. It also appears that it is patterned after the earlier Beals frame instead of the later frame design. It does not appear to have been fired as there is no drag line in the cylinder and little to no wear in the cylinder face. That's what I do know, what I have not been able to find out is whether or not this is a quality piece, should be a long term shooter or is it prone to breakage, a keeper or ought to be looking for a better specimen. Any information you guys have in your vast experiences regarding this revolver would be greatly appreciated. I always appreciate opinions of those with more knowledge than I have so please chime in with your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I don't know a huge amount about them but I have one just like it and have been shooting it for many years. Never had a problem, it seems to be a nice well made revolver. I did make a new front sight for it to get it to hit where it is aimed. Otherwise it's all stock and works great.
DGG Doninelli, Grassi and Gazzola. Also the mark of Armi San Paolo and Euroarms. Founded in 1970. They were also in the modern arms industry. Mostly small caliber pistols. I have seen many of these revolvers and seem to be made of good quality. Had some that needed minor repairs. Never seen one I couldn't fix. For the exception of badly abused or neglected. The abused ones were mostly the brass with battered recoil shields. They are good candidates for Confederate replica revolvers as a lot of them have no engraving on the cylinder and the round barrels. Griswolds, Schneiders and Rigdons.
