Posted this pic in the rear sight post below but wanted to start a new one. Recently purchased 1863 Springfield with these markings on the butt-plate ...poster below mentioned maybe 2nd PA Heavy Artillery? Thanks for any help!

Interesting markings and I believe you are spot on. Can we see the rest of the musket?

Thanks, it's definitely the coolest firearm I own. Got a bayonet for it at the North South Trader Show as well.

Awesome longarm! I was unaware Jenks & Son made 63's. Nice pick up

Here's Bates' history on the outfit

2nd Heavy Artillery/112th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers

and here's Company M's roster, so you can speculate which artillerist lugged that around
