Antique Remington New Model Army... Unfired..?

Apparently and occurring more often now, people are not reading the post.  Specifically the part about phone or text only.  

All other correspondence will be ignored, sorry for the inconvenience.

Remington New Model Army revolver manufactured c. 1864. Remington made over 110,000 New Model Army revolvers for the Ordnance Department during the Civil War. The New Model Army revolvers were the primary handgun of the Federal cavalry during the last two years of the war. The New Model Army revolvers remained in service with the cavalry until they were replaced by the Colt Single Action Army revolver c. 1874. The revolvers had a high polish blue finish on the barrel, loading lever, frame and cylinder, the hammer was casehardened, the trigger guard is brass. The walnut grips are oil finished. The barrel is stamped "PATENTED SEPT. 14, 1858/E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILLON, NEW YORK, U.S.A./NEW MODEL". 

This is the nicest Civil War era Remington I have owned, it has been in my collection for over 20 years.  The original  blueing  is a solid 75 - 85 % with the remainder fading to a nice even plum grey patina,  with good case colour remaining on the hammer.  The wood grips are solid and retain good clear , sharp, stampings.  All the inspector marks are clearly visible.  All numbers matching including pencil on the inside of the wood grip, barrel, trigger guard and frame. The mechanics are functioning as expected with solid lock up and perfect timing.  The chambers are incredibly clean with no evidence of ever being shot, the bore is mint as well, bright and shiny with good sharp rifling, the nipples show no evidence whatsoever of ever having contact with powder, primers or hammer.  I believe this revolver is unfired.  If you want a good representative Civil War piece it does not get any better than this.

I have no idea of your capabilities so don’t ask me if you can fire it safely.  When you own it and if you want to fire it, you can do as you please.  As well, please do not ask if I would like to trade it for the carburetor off your Grannies 1973 Volkswagen, not interested.
