Additional information

From what I have gathered and what others have said is it is an 1850s .36 caliber.

It is in what I consider to be excellent condition for its age.

Markings:

"11" and "11" on top of each other right in front of trigger guard An indented square on right side of butt/grip A stamping that appears to be a "E" on top, two ferns? crossed with a "S" on the left and an "R" on the right. A sideways "8" possibly an infinity symbol on the left side of the barrel

Gun appears to be complete. Shows signs of work. The screw heads are a little mangled and the screw that holds on the main spring from underneath behind the trigger has its head pretty much worn down.

The hammer and trigger function. It clicks/locks back 2 stages and releases just fine. The nipple i think they are called that the hammer hits its bad. It unscrews though so I imagine in can be replaced.

With the nipple thing replaced I believe it is fireable. I would shoot it, seems solid.

I can ship this anywhere, no FFL needed. Thank you!

This won't let me put a link to pics in ad, send me your email address and I will send you more pics.
