Although so mentioned in later Maynard catalogs as the "Model 1865", these rifles were produced in 1863 to 1865 simultaneous with the wartime carbines. Folding globe front sight and folding two leaf rear sight. The left side of the frame is marked "EDWARD MAYNARD/PATENTEE/MAY 27, 1851/DEC 59" and the right side is marked with the three line Massachusetts Arms address, (both markings faint, the latter very faint). The upper tang is fitted with a mid range peep sight and stop stud. Blue barrel and casehardened remaining parts, mounted with a smooth varnished walnut stock, with a carbine buttplate.
