Dear Matt,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and I wish you a Happy New Year 2021. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a Civil War period CSA 1863 percussion rifle with a 33” barrel. The lock is stamped with an eagle above CSA on the hammer plate, the year 1863, and Fayetteville.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 2.500 to 5.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
