Manufactured in 1863 under contract with the U.S. Ordnance Department with a German silver blade front sight, the "NEW-YORK" address, standard patent markings and cylinder scene, hammer notch rear sight, three-screw frame and back strap cut for a shoulder stock, cartouches on each side of the grip, and matching serial numbers other than the wedge (2265).

Very good with traces of the fading original case colors remaining, mostly light gray patina on the balance, some light pitting and discoloration, crisp markings and very fine cylinder scene, and minor marks and numerous deep scratches visible on the butt. The refinished grip is good with a chip on the lower right edge, traces of the original cartouches, and mostly smooth surfaces. Mechanically fine.
