My original M1842 has a "14" stamped on the barrel just forward of the tang date.
Would anyone happen to know if this helps narrow down where it might have been during the Civil War, as in, "X state stamped numbers onto their 1842 muskets that they issued to their regiments" or anything else like that?
Here's a link to a photo of it
