GR-1025-6680, Merrimack Arms & Manufacturing Co. Ballard Carbine. Dual Percussion / Cartridge System. 44 RF or 44 Percussion. The nipple for the percussion cap sits under the tip of the hammer, about half way down the base of the hammer. Serial number 18,xxx matches on the frame and barrel. The gun was made 1867-1869. It is estimated under 200 carbines were made, 70 of which were sold to the state of New York for prison guard use at the Sing Sing Prison Dec. of 1869. Marked “No 44” on the top of the frame. There is a high probability that this was a gun sold to New York State. Correct 22 Inch Barrel. The barrel is mottled brown mixing to blue. The markings are visible and legible on the frame. The blue on the frame is original, it is thicker and deeper blue than I am used to seeing on Ballard Carbines but it is a later gun made for the Civilian Market so it would make sense that it is a heavier blue. The frame and lever retain about 50% original blue. There are some very very fine scattered pinpricks and light residue on the frame, but there is no blue in the pinpricks. The stocks show scattered bumps and dings. The bore is excellent. Fine overall. Condition.
