Historical Background:

The Enfield 3-Band Musket, also known as the Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle-Musket, was the second most commonly used rifle of the American Civil War, following only the Springfield Model 1861. Manufactured in Great Britain, this .577 caliber muzzle-loading rifle was favored for its accuracy, reliability, and long-range effectiveness.

Both Union and Confederate forces imported thousands of these rifles, with the Confederacy relying heavily on Enfield imports due to shortages in domestically produced weapons. This musket was issued to infantry troops on both sides of the war, proving its effectiveness in battles such as Gettysburg, Antietam, and Chickamauga.
