Fayetteville 1864 dated .58 cal. Mississippi rifle, remains in
original good condition with gray/brown patina finish, light
to moderate surface pitting and erosion overall, lock markings
appar genuine. "CSA" on butt-plate is questionable
(markings often were added later by dealers and collectors,
which may have been the case here), barrel is Union arsenal
proofed. These type of Confederate arms were assembled
using Union parts on hand with Confederate made locks, stocks
