As General Ethan Allen Hitchcock described the Texas Rangers from the Union military's perspective: "Hay's Rangers have come, their appearance never to be forgotten. Not any sort of uniforms, but well mounted and doubly well armed: each man has one or two Colt's revolvers besides ordinary pistols, a sword, and every man a rifle ..."

The serial number places it's frame's construction in late 1883.

Serial numbers began at the first of the year - 1883 began at 85000 - 1884 began at 102000.

The .32-20 was introduced in 1884.
