The 1858 .44 caliber New Army model revolver stamped with "Lyman, Middlefield, Conn" is likely a product of the Lyman Gun Sight Company, which was known for manufacturing firearms and related accessories in the 19th century. However, it's important to note that the original 1858 Army revolver design was created by Remington, and Lyman may have produced these revolvers or components under their brand or for specific markets. The revolver itself reflects the design popularized during the American Civil War era.

There is no such thing. The Cowboy Ranger revolver is not made by Colt. The reason it has Colt stamped on the barrel is because you can use Colt ammunition. The Cowboy Ranger revolver is a pre WW1 revolver that was distributed in the US but also brought over from the soldiers as they returned from the war. If you can find any information on the manufacturing date and how to identify it please let me know
