Frank de Haas in Single Shot Rifles and Actions shows the dates of manufacture for the #4 model Remington rolling block as 1890 to 1933. The first type being the rigid frame with screw in barrel. Konrad Schreier indicates the lever takedown type was introduced about 1900 made through 1910 when Remington changed to the thumb screw style takedown system. The last type was manufactured with a round barrel as opposed to the former tapered octagon barrels. The earliest #4s do not have alfa designations as part of the serial number. For photo examples of these types see www.rollingblockparts.com. Due to Remington's incomplete or nonexistant records the exact date of your rifle manufacture may never be known.
Octagonal barrel could be a plethora of different guns anywhere from a rolling block to a pump. Need to identify what it is first and condition, condition, condition for values.
Depends greatly on which rolling block, there's to many to specify them all serial/date.
I have a octagonal barrel .32 caliber Remington Patent date May 3, 1864 - What would it be worth?
Which model, what condition?
It's on the barrel underneath the forearm piece and on the trigger guard as well.

Well there's not a lot of information here to understand what exactly your asking but if it's E. Remington and sons it has to be prior to 1888 when it then became Remington Arms Co.
