I believe the 1863 govt. order for 15,000 of these Rebel killers was filled. In 1865, post war, Charles Parker was awarded a second government contract to convert 5000 of the muzzle loaders to breech-loaders using the Miller brothers' patent. You have a very nice example of the unaltered muzzle-loader.
