I have an original Pattern 1853 Barnett Enfield. Markings are:
. Barnett London on the lock plate. No crown or Tower.
. I.C. (Issac Curtis) on the left side of stock, under the barrel, inside the lock.
. J.S. in a circle (no anchor) on the stock near the butt plate
. Code date 960 under barrel.
. Bench made, not "parts interchangable". Has bench markings on all parts. 3 slash marks.
. London proofs
. I know that Issac Curtis worked for S. Issac, Campbell Co. which supplied the Confereracy.
