Serial number 290360 was made in 1867 but the cylinder isn't original to it unless the 0 at the end was a typo and it's really a 7.

Thank you Hawg.
Would the number on the cylinder stand for March 1867?
The serial numbers are the same everywhere else I’ve seen the numbers.

No the number on the cylinder is the last four digits of the serial number of the gun it came off of.

I got bad information. The serial number is 290367.
It appears to have the correct cylinder.
