The Model 1819 Hall was the first U.S. military breech loading firearm issued in large numbers and also the first firearm manufactured with totally interchangeable parts. In 1819, John H. Hall entered into a contract with the War Department for 1,000 of his breech loading rifles. Hall occupied an old armory sawmill next to the Harpers Ferry Armory that became known as Hall's Rifle Works. This rifle has the standard offset front blade and notch sights, "J. H. HALL/H. FERRY/US/1838" marked breech block, barrel bands retained by pins, and a proper button head ramrod.
About fine condition exhibiting most of the original brown finish. Hints of casehardened finish visible on the protected areas of the breech block with sharp defined markings, and smooth gray on the barrel bands. Stock is fine with sharps edges and visible grain. Has some light handling marks, and distinct edges overall. Mechanically excellent.

100% original, 100% complete, and mechanically perfect.
