The original arm was meant for dragoons. Hence the common caliber with the musket and the musket size nipple.

The Confederates made some called at North Carolina's Fayetteville Armory. Check uout Confederate Arms by William Albaugh and Edward Simmons. I'd have to find my book(s) showing where it was originally developed before the war.
