No but they could have been by some people who were rich. And rich people were usually up north were there were more factories owned by northerners. But to answer you're question, i honestly don't know!
musket
Musket balls.
The musket was used by foot soldiers in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
If your referring to the "muzzle loading" musket/rifle; the US Army's last offical use of that weapon was the US Civil War. In 1866 the US Army adapted the metallic cartridge 50-70 single shot rifle. Then in 1873, the US Army got rid of the 50-70 and adapted the 45-70 Government cartridge. Both sides used the musket/rifle in the Civil War. A muzzle loading musket could be either smooth bore or rifled. However, generally speaking, whenever a man used the term "musket", it was usually presumed to be a smooth bored weapon.
The main weapon in the Civil War was the rifle musket. It was an advancement of the traditional musket, equipped with a rifled barrel that increased accuracy and range. Both the Union and Confederate forces made use of this weapon during the war.

The Saber was defiantly a faster more agile weapon but it was not long ranged like the Musket, there is also the accuracy factor when you shoot a musket straight it is most likely to hit the floor or next to where you shot. If you miss with the Musket and the other person had a Saber you would die or be harshly injured. My choice would be the Saber for speed, accuracy, and agility.
They drilled and and marched a lot. The muskets upgraded to musket-rifles which were much better.

what you have is a converted civil war 58 cal. musket. After the civil war those muskets were converted to 50/70 cal (trapdoor) center fire rifles. Later the 45/70 (trapdoor) came into being. Value depends on overall condition of the rifle................
As the US Civil War entered its fifth year in 1865, most infantrymen were no longer using the old style musket type rifles of the past. By the war's end, most soldiers were using either the '58 Springfield or the 577 Enfield rifle musket.
