This model was made by J. Stevens & Co. for about twenty years beginning in 1864. This and other handguns from this donation were owned by members of the donor's mother. This could have been her grandfather Charles Page Craig II (1840-1903) or great grandfather Charles Page Craig I (1813-1876), both of Cambridge, Dorchester County, Maryland.
