Manufactured from 1862 to 1865. Blade front and three leaf rear sights, with a bayonet lug for a saber type bayonet mounted on the right side of the barrel. The barrel at the breech is dated 1863 and has "V / P / eagle head" proofs and "STEEL R.K.A." on the left side. The lock plate like the barrel is dated 1863 and has the American eagle/shield motif over "U.S." followed by "REMINGTON'S / ILION, N.Y.", with a small letter "L". The two "U" marked barrel bands, forend cap, trigger guard, patch box and buttplate are brass. Smooth straight grip stock with two clear inspector cartouches (HDJ and BH) on the left flat.

Excellent. The barrel retains 95% original blue finish thinning to a brown with some scattered mild spotting. The hammer and lock plate retain 90% plus original case colors. The brass is fine. The stock is also excellent with some minor dings and scratches, with a minor gouge near the patchbox. Mechanically excellent.
