Ballard carbine identification help

My Dad gave me his Grandfathers .44 Henry Ballard Carbine many years ago.Over the years I have tried to nail down it's Mfg date and how it came to be in it's present state. This is a Merwin and Bray,New York. It is Nickled. It has a military tang sight. It has a military but plate and stock sling swivle.No sling swivle on the fore end.It has a globe front sight and a rear flip up leaf sight with a cut out. The barrel is round and the receiver is octogon.I think it a "Kentucky" type, but instead inhanced and sold on the civilian market.What do you think?
