A lot depends on the condition of the musket. Are all parts original to the gun? Has the stock or barrel been shortened, or (sporterized) What is the date on the lockplate? Muskets dated 1861 are a little less common, as the war had yet to break out in full swing, so the government hadnt placed the bulk of orders for the Springfield (and other contract makers)... less common tends to be more valuable. Has the gun ever been cleaned? This can devalue the gun, if not done correctly. There is no substitute for an "un-fiddled with" gun that has been properly stored over the decades. Are there stampings on the barrel? Should be an Eagles head, along with V (visual inspection), and P (Proven...actually fired). Are there cartouches on the left side of the gun, opposite the lockplate? (This means the gun has been gov't inspected and approved for military use). If the gun has been sanded or refinished, these may be gone, which is unfortunate..it devalues the gun. What is the condition of the action, the bore, and the metal surfaces? Is there surface rust? Pitting? (caused by corrosive black powder residue). A good bore with strong rifling is a plus. If all original, and in decent condition, you may get anywhere from $1250.00 to $2500.00...it really depends on the eye of the collector. One mans junk is another mans gem.

In August 2008, a Bannerman quaker Springfield musket with wooden barrel sold on eBay for $800.00, however the lock was stamped 1861 with an 1863 hammer attached. All other components on the quaker musket were original 1863 type fittings, except for an 1842 barrel band at the muzzle.
