Okay, I got a chance to see the supposed Model 2 that my mom found. It looks to be too small to be a Model 2. It's also only a 5 shot model. The patents on top mention 1865, 69 and 75, and a Reissue in 1871. The cylinder is fluted, and the butt is round.
After some research of my own, I think this may be a Model 1 1/2.
Does that sound about right Radagast? I'm working on getting my mom to take some pics, if she can actually find her camera.
