The barrel is of the shorter length as on the Model 1812 and has a bayonet stud on top near the muzzle. Brass blade front sight on the rear strap of the upper barrel band. Sling swivels are mounted on the middle band and trigger guard finial. A "GDM" George D. Moller collection mark is at the toe. Includes socket bayonet and reproduction leather sling.
