Wood-engraved illustration show the Remington New Model Army Revolver made c. 1863 - 1875.

which establishes an approximate date for the advert.
Bodoni Egyptian Pro ExtraBold could be used to approximate the bold font.
Further digging might turn up a closer substitute.

Much closer in style. Only offered as a distressed version.
No lower case.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do like the second one better and I might be able to get away with using all caps.
