Serial # 6556. .54 caliber single shot percussion breech loading carbine with a 21” barrel. The bore is very good to excellent, mostly clean and shiny with slight roughness and strong rifling. The rifle appears to be a 5th model with the receiver marked “Burnside Patent/Model of 1864”. The barrel markings are worn, but “1864” is legible. The metal finish on the barrel is a brown patina with light wear at the muzzle end along with light dings and scratches. The receiver, lock plate, lever and hammer are a brownish gray patina with thinning and edge wear. The saddle bar and ring are intact. The stock and forearm are in fair to good condition with numerous dings, scratches, and finish wear. There are slivers of wood missing from the edges of the forearm. The initials “JD” are carved into the left side of the butt. Steel butt plate. Original sights with flip-up rear sight. The action works fine. The nipple is a newer replacement, the original nipple is included. Approx. 43,000 5th Models were made in 1863-1864.
