These rifles were designed by James Paris Lee, with approximately 1,000 manufactured circa 1865-1866 by the Lee Fire Arms Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With the hammer at half cock, the side swing barrel opens for loading from the right. It has a pinched blade front sight and fixed rear sight, "LEE'S FIRE ARMS CO. MILWAUKEE, WIS./PATD JULY 22D 1862." marked on top of the octagon barrel, matching serial numbers on the barrel and action, and smooth buttstock.

Good with smooth brown patina overall, a few small patches of light pitting, and clear barrel markings. Stock is also very good with some scattered scratches and dents. Mechanically fine.
