I believe you may be right... Looks like it would fit perfetly around the stock and barrel.. I have similar ones on my modern day flintlock... If that's not it somebody in here will surely know for sure...

Max, Kinda looks like this one off a 1862 era rifle.

I agree with baywalker, looks like a rifle barrel ring but could be from flintlock., maybe getting a 100% true measurement could help alittle more all comes down to the size.. Really kewl find!!

It is definitely a brass barrel-band. Specifically, it is from a US Model-1841 "Mississippi" Rifle. (Important note: The Confederates manufactured some copies of it.) I still own an exact-duplicate Reproduction of a US Model-1841 Mississippi from my years as a civil war battle re-enactor, so I checked your barrel-band with mine's, for confirmation of the ID that I've given you. To learn more, and see photos (in a slideshow), go here: The National Firearms Museum: U.S. Harpers Ferry Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle

And for "mouse over to view" enlargement, showing your barrel-band close up, go here: http://shop.cohenantiques.com/firea...-1853-mississippi-rifle-with-peace-flask.html
