According to the book, the above patents dates were used 1907-08 and the R prefix identifies it as a large frame 2nd model hammerless chambered for the.38 S&W black powder round. However, the chart shows that 1907 serials started at R33001. ('FPT' in patent dates should be SEPT).

I spent the weekend looking for information about it and found this, written by Dr. Jim L. Davis on April 28, 2010 and posted on the CAS City forum:
'Many of those who share on the various forums may have seen the postings of my requests for information about various replicas that have been produced. One of these has been the Confederate replica of the Dance Brothers revolver which was originally made in Texas. After 15 yrs. of research into the replica revolvers that have been manufactured since the early 1950’s, I have finally been able to put together production numbers for all replica Dance revolvers that have been manufactured.
It turns out that the Pietta .36 cal. revolvers that were marked DANCE FIREARMS CO. - ANGLETON, TEXAS are the fewest in number at only 35 guns. These start with serial # C00001 and continue through # C00047. There were an additional 4 guns produced that are marked DANCE FIREARMS CO. - ANGLETON, TEXAS in .44 cal. with rebated cylinders, # C00048-C00051. The .44cal. revolvers were prototypes of a possible .44 cal. series. These were produced in 1996.
Pietta continued shipments of the .36 cal. Dance revolver that are only marked F.LLI PIETTA MADE IN ITALY on right side of the barrel. This was at about the same time that they discontinued the marking of any revolvers with anything other than their own name. These terminated with serial # C00127. All production of the Pietta Dance revolver in .36 cal. were discontinued with serial # C00127. This is a total production of only 75 revolvers. The only revolvers left are only available from Tony Gajewsky. These now sell for over $1000. I acquired one of these Pietta Dance revolvers off the internet recently. It is like new condition with serial # C00096. This is the only resale I have ever seen. These were also produced in 1996.
Pietta resumed production of the .44 cal. with 7 1/2' barrels and REBATED CYLINDERS with serial # C00128. This production was modified to the current STRAIGHT CYLINDERS and 8' barrel at around serial # C00233. There were only 105 Dance revolvers in .44 cal. made with rebated cylinders.
The Dance in Adler's book is the current .44 cal. available from Dixie and Traditions, which are made by Pietta. He does not even mention the original Uberti or Pietta .36 cal.
Uberti made 50 Dance Commemoratives with only 44 being accepted by Tony. They all have an AR prefix on the serial number starting with AR001 and have a Certificate of Authenticity with each gun. After the Commemoratives the 'Shooter Model” was introduced starting with serial # 0001. These revolvers had plain cylinders and are marked SMLS INC ANGLETON TEXAS. These were all sold the first year they were introduced in 1985.
Both the Uberti and Pietta replica Dance revolvers have square back trigger guards. This was done intentionally as a deterrent to counterfeiters which seemed to be a fear of collectors of original revolvers.
There was a Uberti Dance revolver recently auctioned on Gun Broker. It sold for around $325 which was a correct price since it was what I categorize as a Scrap Gun in our book. A Scrap Gun is a gun that is assembled from parts left over from special edition guns and commemoratives that a manufacturer produced. Armi San Marco produced many of these. Uberti also used left over or seconds parts to assemble the Dance recently sold on Gun Broker. These guns have a very limited interest to the collector. They are oddities but have little monetary value.'

Jim

F.lli Pietta Firearms Serial Numbers For Theft
The Remington New Model Army represents the second-most number of issued handguns found on Civil War battlefields, second only to the Colt 1860 Army. The Union government acquired a total of some 122,000 of these New Model revolvers for military use, with nearly 110,000 New Models purchased by the U.S. government during the Civil War, at a cost of around $11 each. The State of New Jersey also purchased several thousand for Civil War issue. The New Model 1863 Army represents Remington’s highest production martial pistol. It featured a strong, solid-frame design with the groove in the top for a rear sight, as opposed to Colt’s open-top design. Though Colt got the lion’s share of the government contracts, many consider the Remington New Model Army the superior firearm. William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody used an ivory-handled New Model Army .44, serial number 73,293, from 1863 until 1906, when he gave it to his ranch foreman with a handwritten note which said that, “It never failed me”.
The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The grips are in good condition. This one has been lightly aged.
