Ok, like many other stories, family heirloom. “Used by uncle glass in the civil war”...
it’s not gold plated, and not a blunderbus... sorry, I felt like I needed to at least TRY to get your attention.
There is a “5” on the back of the barrel and an alignment mark for the plug (?) in the back of the barrel.
under the barrel, there is “11 3” but the characters are flipped
“D DL” on inside of spring plate.
“D” on the trigger guard
a couple marks on the trigger plate ‘circle B’ and weird star shape intentionally stamped.
“2010” on the bayonet lug
The triangular nut on the left side has a “D” with a small portion of the star shape surrounding the upper left edge of the D
Barrel measured at .772 at muzzle
Smooth bore
Hammer has checkering on tip
I did not remove the rear plate from the stock.
There is no rear sight.
Uncle Glass may have been from Texas. Unknown if he was in the civil war, where, or what he did. This was in my grandfathers possession for more than 60 years. My father had it for 10. Now, here I am.
I have been around the military and law enforcement for many years and thought I knew a little about firearms. I’ve realized I know almost nothing, and appreciate your dedication to this specialty.
Thank you all. Any help is appreciated.
