81,XXX shipped the very end of 1865. I usually use serial number 65,000 as the approximate cut-off for Model 1s to qualify as Civil War era, but am sure that exceptions exist.
Just found more detailed information that shows the following: Neal & Jinks book states 1864 sales numbers were sn 40,353 to 59,212 and 1865 was 59,213 to 83,170. The Civil War ended in April, 1865.
