One-piece plain walnut stock in 3-barrel band configuration complete with "US" marked military buttplate and iron nosecap. Stock bears "MH" and "JT" cartouches on left side. The main difference between the Special Model 1861 and US Model 1861 is the barrel bands with clamps instead of spring retainers.
