I don't remember what forum this is posted on,but if it is not the 'What is it forum" you might wanna put it on there.There a member that goes by Thecannonballguy that can tell you everything you need to know about it.I am looking forward to learning some more about it myself.

Try bulletandshell.com or relicman.com....looks like a .58 Enfield...actually used by both North and South but generally attributed to the South.
