Serial number matches on bottoms of barrel, frame and breech block. No case colors remain on the receiver, lock or hammer and all have turned patina. Original sights intact. Sling ring and bar were broken off a long time ago as the remnants of the screws match in condition to the rest of the frame and possibly occured when dropped during battle. Action locks up tightly and bore is very good with sharp rifling but some darkness and light frost. Various components have sub-inspector initials and the left wrist of the stock has the inspector's cartouche. Approximately 8200 of these were manufactured 1863-1864 and issued under 13 separate government contracts to multiple Union cavarly units.
