54, 4th Model patented in 1864, Serial number 17059, and first patented by Ambrose E. Last edited by dbm 11-02-2019 at 05:16 AM. Burnside breech-loading carbine, caliber. The small arm that protrudes from the pin holding the loading lever is broken and missing. The same serial number is stamped on the underside of the trigger tang, inside the lockplate, under the breech tang plate, under the top of the buttplate and in. Volunteers originally had a form of Rigby rifling, later changed to Henry (denoted by a H prefix to the serial number). Serial number (6390) appears twice on the top of the breech and on top of the receiver only the 0 is visible inside on the loading lever. Pitch should be 1 in 78 to match originals, but some were made with 1 in 48 pitch. If you have Pattern 1853 Enfield, if possible please check the rifling pitch and let me know - a tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod should give a good enough measure. This code is invaluable in building an understanding of the production time line. According to the serial numbers compiled by the Springfield Research Service, Burnside 17935 was recorded in the possession of Company L of the 6th Indiana. If possible please include the date proof code from the underside of the barrel two letters and a number either between crossed swords or within a circle after the proof load information. I'm keen to hear from anyone (use direct message for privacy if you wish) who will let me know the serial number of any Parker-Hale muzzle loading rifle they own / know of, along with its type (P.53, P.58, P.61, Volunteer or Whitworth). I have a database of over 600 Parker-Hale rifles.
