The barrel is marked "B BAHN & BRO" twice (once over another marking) and "CAPE GIRARDEAU MO" and is fitted with a blade front sight, a buckhorn rear sight, and two additional empty rear sight dovetails. The lock is marked "LEMAN/LANCTR.PA" at the front and has standard Leman scrollwork. It also features a pewter forend cap, double set triggers, and a smooth "perch belly" stock. The Bahn Brothers, Bernard and George W. Bahn, established a hardware store in 1860 and also manufactured rifles early on.

Good with dark brown patina on the lock and barrel, mild oxidation and pitting, aged patina on the brass, and moderate overall wear. The stock is good and has a faint repaired crack in the wrist, some scratches and dings, a chip to the left of the tang, and thin crack on the left at the breech. Mechanically fine.
