Congratulations, enjoyWell for better or worse I bought it .
Kinda nice to have one that was actually in the war . My NJ marked M1861 Trenton musket for sure was not .
Wedge and arbor match , arbor is tight and bore is good .
Probably a serviceable gun .
NO I do not intend to shoot it .
THANKS to all that helped as I would not have bought it without your help .

I think you did good, it appears to be solid, matching numbers, cartouche, so you know it was "there". And if you got it for 1,600, you did really good. Congrats.Well for better or worse I bought it .
