Anyone out there with some expertise on the Marlin Ballard Patent Pacific Rifle No.5 in 38-55 Cal? I just happen to have one that I know little about. This one does have the double set triggers and also a long range adjustable peep sight mounted just behind the receiver. It's missing the wiping rod. The action works fine and the bore looks pretty good to me. The metal finish has no rust. I also have a bullet mold and some hand other reloading tools. Mainly, I'd like to learn more about what I have here.

Thanks in advance, John

  BALLARD No.5 PACIFIC RIFLE. Made c.1876 to 1891.
  Listed in a great variety of Calibers from 38/50 to 50/70...Catalogs specifically noted that Marlin would not make the gun on custom order in any caliber smaller the 38/55. 30" and 32" medium to heavy weight octagon barrels. Rocky Mountain sights and Rifle buttplate.
  The distinctive feature of the gun is the presence of a RAMROD mounted under the barrel and double set triggers, Ring shaped lever also standard...Value in Very Good Condition...$2500.00..... Best....
