Cavalry units known to have been issued the Maynard were the 9th and 11th Indiana and the 11th Tennessee. This Maynard is in fine condition. The barrel retains about 95% of its original factory blued finish. The frame, lever, and hammer have turned a smooyh brown.

Both the bore and the mechanics of this carbine are excellent. The bore is bright and shiny with strong rifling. Lock up is tight. The stock is in fine condition, with just a few small dings and scratches from use. There are two crisp inspector's cartouches on the left wrist of the stock.
