Here is a photo of the 1871 Patent date stamped on the lower tang of my rifle. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo it was taken about 15 years ago. I will try to take a better photo in the up coming days. It reads PATD AUG 27th 1867 NOV 7th 1871 NYS3a.jpg Have a Good Day, Matt Nothing on mine. ...

I am now on a mission to figure out this gun's history.
