273,265 of these rifle-muskets were manufactured c. 1863 as part of the effort to arm the Union Army. This example has the standard markings and features and is one of those with blued barrel bands and rear sight.

Very good with mottled dark patina forming on the otherwise fairly bright barrel and bayonet, 50% original blue remains on the barrel bands and rear sight, dark brown patina on the trigger guard bow and buttplate, faint original case colors and dark patina on the lock, areas of minor pitting, some dents in the re-oiled wood, and general minor marks and scratches on the metal and stock. Mechanically excellent.
