Muzzleldrs Need help identifying a musket

[Buckey151]

I need help identifying this musket.
This was past down to me from my dad. I've always been told it was his great great grandfather's during the civil war. Union soldier.
I've been told it's a 69 caliber. Smooth bore. Its overall length is 45.5 inches. Barrel length is 30.5 inches. The side plate has "Nasfe" in cursive. I'm not sure if there are more letters that have worn off. The stock is stamped with "F 416". The buttplate is stamped "2813".
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Found some proof marks. Pics aren't the best but maybe they will help someone.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

What you have looks to be a M1809 Prussian musket, that's been cut down to a musketoon in a very well done cut down job. I wouldn't say it was done by the Army, but there are some real experts here that know a lot more than me.

Welcome from South Florida and the Reenactors Forum. Looks like a European import but can't ID it but somebody here will. You may want to post this in the Weapons Forum.

Welcome From THE Heart Of Dixie. It is a Potsdam cut down but lets see if we can nail it down paging @Craig L Barry and @Lanyard Puller

I have seen several Potsdams that had been cut down to musketoon length like this. I assumed that they had been cut down post war, possibly by Bannerman, but that is just a guess.

Welcome from Tennessee. That is a beautiful weapon. Along with its ID I would be interested in the type of wood the stock was formed from. Thanks,

Not sure what wood the stock is made from. I'm going to take it to a reputable dealer when I get back to Murfreesboro.

I'm not a wood expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure it is European Beech.
