Manufactured in 1864 during the American Civil War with standard markings and features, including matching serial numbers (loading lever blank, wedge renumbered to match).

Very good with 40% original blue finish on the barrel, patches of original case colors in the protected areas, dark gray and brown patina on the balance of the iron, traces of original silver and otherwise aged patina on the brass grip frame, some mild oxidation and pitting, replacement wedge and screws, and general mild wear. The grip is also very good and has chips at the heel and toe, three "kill notches" on the right at the toe, mild edge wear, and most of the original varnish. Mechanically fine.
