1864 Stamped Springfield

[agzela]

Hello, New to all this.....mostly interested in the Revolutionary War as farm borders the Saratoga Battlefield....I inherited this rifle dated 1864 (see pics) looks like its the real deal...looking for some experts here to comment..everything works on it

It is the real deal.
Your photos don't show the ramrod.
This would have had shallow three grove rifling, sharp but shallow.

Very very very nice

Welcome, enjoy. Model 1863 type II. Looks to just be missing the sling swivel on trigger guard

Now thats a nice ACW collectible. Mount a bayonet on it and put it up on the wall of your Man Cave.

yes, I somehow missed that - it is the right style. Someone who knows more about ramrods than I know might be able to tell more about it if they could see a photo of the cup end of it, head on, and also the bottom of it where there should be some threads.

Excellent photos.
I am not the expert on these later War ramrods, but some person viewing these will know.
