Perfect barrel markings. This model is very difficult to find in any condition and was a favorite among soldiers on both sides early in the War. Approximately 15,000 manufactured from 1860 to 1862. A favorite with Union officers. Definitely an original matching pair.
Action is tight and crisp and all markings are clear and legible.
At some point, some fool used a grinding wheel on the back of the wedge pin and hit the cylinder edge lightly as well in three places-nothing real bad, but it is visible. Clear markings and good cylinder scene, and very nice government inspector stamps in the walnut grips. Fine checkered walnut stocks. Serial number 28,254 as made in 1891. Type used in the last years of the old wild west, serial number 137,998.
