The Gallager saw extensive use during the Civil War. Among the many cavalry regiments with it were the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th Ohio, and the 13th Tennessee, and the 3rd West Virginia. Ironically, the inventor, Mahlon J. Gallager was from South Carolina. A number of minor variations were observed in trigger shape, sights, breech details, etc. Basic variants are: Early production Carbine: the lockplate marked: GALLAGER/PATENTED JULY 17th 1860/ (serial number-7017).
Standard Model: the lockplate marked: MANUFACT BY/RICHARDSON & OVERMAN/PHILADELPHIA/ (serial number), and GALLAGER’S PATENT/JULY 17th 1860.
