Top of barrel is marked ''ALLEN & WHEELOCK. ALLENS PAT SEP 18 1860''. Left side of receiver is marked with the 0 to 10 sight graduations.

The stock carries a crescent metal trapdoor buttplate. Mechanical function appears good, Matching visible S/N on receiver, internals of lever & underside of rear sight. A very rare example of Civil War era gun, likely used in the war. Antique, No FFL Req. - Value: 500 to 1000
