Civil War Era U.S. Marked Colt Model 1855 Military Percussion Revolving Carbine with Saber Bayonet

Description:
Got a U.S. Marked Colt Model 1855 Military Percussion Revolving Carbine with Saber Bayonet with Leather Sheath. This si 56 Caliber with a 21 inch barrel.   The Colt Model 1855 "Revolving" Carbine Artillery Model Saber Bayonet has only one marking we could find or still visible, the number 1861 as shown in the pictures.  The blade is just over 21 inches.  

The serial number 1054 on the rifle match were we could find them.   On the Butt Stock, under the rear of the trigger guard and the bottom of the frame.  If there are others we did NOT dissassemble the rifle.   There are two cartouches on the rifle.  I have pictures of both.   Not sure what they mean.

This is an example of a U.S. marked Colt Model 1855 revolving carbine that was manufactured prior to the Civil War. The Ordnance Department purchased 4,613 Colt 1855 Military rifles and carbines during the Civil War; nearly 900 of these rifles were purchased from B. Kittredge and other commercial sources and over 3,700 rifles were purchased directly from Colt. The 1st and 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters (Berdan's Sharpshooters), the 21st Ohio Infantry and 2nd Michigan Cavalry were primarily armed with Colt Model 1855 Military rifles. This carbine has a five-shot cylinder, a root-type side hammer, and a ratchet-type loading lever. Brass blade front sight and the folding three-leaf rear sight is graduated for 100, 300 and 600 yards. The rifle has an iron cleaning rod with knurled handle and threaded end fitted in the forearm. "COL. COLT HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." marked on the top strap sight groove. "COLTS/PATENT/US" on the top tang and "NOV 24th 1857". Illegible faded boxed script cartouche on the left wrist and right wrist.
