Yours could be a rare bird indeed. According to Roy Jinks book in 1878 the ordanance department ordered 280 nickled NM#3's for the state of Maryland, 44R 6.5 inch barrels and wooden grips. Seril numbers were in the range 7126 - 7405. Marked US on butt, marked HN on the cylinder, on the frame under cylinder, bottom of the barrel and right grip. Left grip marked DAL unber 1878

Hi Thanks for the Reply! Well mine is SER # 7120.
Crap to Old by 6 guns.
No US markings on it.
Its still just as good tho!

Its in great orignal condition.
Clear barrel address all Numbers clear.
its got two small notches filed crosswise into the grip strap above the Mainspring ajustment screw.
