very nice - obviously a nicely graded gun
how about a picture of the action open- i can see the release, i assume the breech swings up from the back?

The hinge is along the left side so it opens over to the left from the right side.
A beautiful gun and another testament to American ingenuity and manufacturing. What is the year of manufacture? .

What kind of ignition system would the cartridges need to have?

The guns were made around 1865 to 1872 one of the first American center fire breech loaders if not the first. Attached is a picture of the case head of a original cartridge. I do not own but would like to own one.

Ed suggests December 1868 for the introduction of Ethan Allen's Lid-opener, with as early as June 1867 for Parker's T-Latch.
