Does this CW Trigger Guard make my Butt Plate look big? LOL

I came across this Butt Plate in one of my many shoeboxes, and was wondering if it fit the 1863 Springfield? If so, if I keep digging, I might can make a musket! :laughing7:

Thanks, Breezie

The buttplate is too straignt to be for an 1863, might be an 1842. The trigger and guard could be for any of the Civil War era rifle musket Springfields, 1855/1861/1863, they are all the same.

So, the butt plate is for a Springfield, just not the 1860s models. Thanks Cutler for the info, and thanks to everyone else for the smiles.
