From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_1853_Enfield
"After the end of the war, hundreds of formerly Confederate Enfield 1853 muskets were sold from the American arms market to the Tokugawa shogunate, as well as some prominent Japanese domains including Aizu and Satsuma. These units would later be used in the Boshin War, and some remaining in Satsuma would also be used by rebelling former samurai in the Satsuma Rebellion about a decade later. "
