Farmingdale serial number
Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:49 pm
Hi All. From a previous post:
Just received my new to me 1863 3 band rifle with patch box 45 caliber. Has a Lyman 100th anniversary scope on it. Just ordered some bullets and stuff from Track of the Wolf and can't wait to shoot it. Has a 30" barrel for serial number 24xx.
Can someone maybe verify for me? I am assuming this is a Farmingdale? Anyone have a guess for year of manufacture?
LOL, I am so I don't know what. Says Farmindale on the side of the receiver!
Anyway. Just curious. Any chance someone can give me an approx date of manufacture?
I call her my orphan gun. Just the vibe I get. Doesn't help her that there are 2 pair of screw holes on the barrel I had to find screws to fill. Also the pair of scope mounts, the forward mount is screwed in and the rear mount is dovetailed in. And has the pair of screw holes ( in the tang ) with screws most likely from the factory. Then 2 more screw in the tang that need to have screws installed.
