Hey so I know this is completely off the topic of what we are here to talk about on this site but I noticed that there is a lot of service veterans on this site and I’m sure someone can help me tell me what I have here. I put the picture into Google lens and a friend said that this gun might be from the civil war. If anybody could tell me what I’m working with here would be greatly appreciated.

Need a good pic of the receiver. Probably is a trapdoor Springfield.

Do you have a caliper you could mic the bore with. Caliber will help narrow the time period and maker down.

Not a Trap Door, it’s a Muzzleloader.

@Growdoc do you see the picture with the tag with the engraving on the top of the gun? I can’t make out what it says but other than that I haven’t seen any other writing anywhere on the gun

I did, I’m gonna blow it up and see what I can find. There were a ton of private small builders back then, some of their work is quite valuable.
