Hello SSS,
Thanks to Herbert, JimBob, for providing the Serial # information. I had to pack up and leave my hunting camp in Maine for the dreaded drive back to Massachusetts. Thanks for posting for me. Just starting to get unpacked. Because of the growing drug problem in northern Maine there have been an increasing # of camp breakins so I now have to transportate all my weapons back and forth from ME to MA. No small task!
Anyway, I checked the SRS books that I have and the best info is what has already been posted on the serial # info, i.e., Company M, 2nd Ny York Volunteer Cavalry, issued on or before March 1865.
Thanks again guys,
Two Flints
