Gentlemen,

Hoping I might ask a couple of questions about the Model 1855 - looking at an example dated 59 on the lock plate, 58 on the barrel. No patch box; has the brass nose cap.

This one has the long range sights, with the sides graduated to ?5? - looking around the net, I see some graduated to 5 and some to 4. I haven?t been able to find a definitive source on the sights other than a brief mention that they went through a couple of iterations.



The second issue is that the 1 of the barrel date seems?a tad off centered?



Should either of these be ringing any alarm bells?

Thanks in advance!
