[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3035574, member: 40561"] More kinda cool info. I believe this is SN 77482. SN77481 was issued to a soldier during the Civil war, as well as some shortly after this SN so its a good possibility this one was too, just not documented. "77481 was issued to Pvt. William Doran Co. E, 2nd Kansas Cavalry. 77476 & 77500 were both issued to the same company, there is no telling where this old war horse served. I did see carbines with similar serial numbers being issued in early 1862. Some companies were issued Sharps in serial number blocks but other companies the serial numbers are just helter skelter."
