I suppose the movie prop department could have looked up Custer's predilection for Remingtons...
The one in the auction has a curiously cut-away loading lever...I once owned an old original cap & ball Remington .44, it was huge and heavy...

That's because it's a Remington-Beals.
Anyway, G.A.C. had at one time or another almost anything that went Bang! I have a picture of him with a Colt Roots revolver during is West Point days. So, that Remington-Beals may very well be legit.
