Identifying a Percussion Cap & Ball Rifle

[TJ]

To all members:

I have a cap & ball in my collection, passed down from my father. He had three. One was a Gwynn & Campbell – Patent 1862. The other was a Rein & Miller, both from Hamilton OH. The third depicted in the attached photo's was said by my father to be a military cap & ball but has limited identifiable markings. The stock is raised on one side and I found the number 860 affixed to the flash pan. The bronze ramrod has a marking "Revere Bronze 380."

I was hoping a member could identify the rifle? I poured through images, but have been unsuccessful in identifying it.

Best regards,

TJ

Just signed up and still figuring things out. Rifle is an Austrian m1854 rifle musket, infantry model. Origonaly cal .54.
I shoot the shorter jaeger rifle in nssa competion The 860 means 1860. Being frugal they were saving the cost of the 1 die. You should be able to look that up and find all you want to know. If you need more help don't be shy. Missing rear site and incorrect rammer. I have some, but not many parts. Hope this helps, Jaeger.
