Those records if they existed were lost in a fire, they continued starting at around 15,000 and approximately 122,000 we made. The only way you can tell a military from a commercial model is the presence of inspector marks and the cartouche on the left grip if still visible. The values of each is not significantly different.
Need more information but there is a model 1858 ;) BUT that patent date is on different revolvers as well.
Information about the Witloe replica can be obtained at the Replica Percussion Revolver Collector's Association: http://rprca.tripod.com or from: drjldavis@hotmail.com
If it's a replica it's clearly market by the manufacturer if however it a forgery they could have stamped it appropriately. So no.
that's the patent date on a New Model, the W on the trigger guard would be an inspectors mark and indicate a military firearm. There should be others on the frame and a cartouche if still visible on the left grip.

I doubt there will be any history but probably can get at least manufactured if you go to the Remington Society of America forums and ask... http://remingtonsociety.com/forums/
