I have an old rifle/musket (I don't know what the proper terminology is) that has been passed down through my family. I was told that it was used in the Civil War. I don't know anything about antique guns so I was hoping that some of you guys might be able to give me a little insight about the gun, including any information or how much it may be worth. I am sorry for the pictures, my camera sucks, but I tried to do my best. The gun seems to be in fairly decent condition and don't let the pictures fool you, there is no rust on it (even though the metal areas look reddish but that is just the camera). It also has a bayonette that is not pictured. It has "Springfield" and "1863" stamped in the metal along with what appears to be a crest with an eagle. I'm sorry if I didn't use the correct terminology and I thank everyone for their help ahead of time.
