Hello, i'm new to this forum but I hope someone can help me regarding a vintage musket.My dad bought a 1861 springfield musket for me at an auction in Plain City, Ohio about 40 years ago. On the barrel, on the side opposite the lock, is stamped " 6TH VA LT INF".Would anyone know about the 6th Virginia light infantry and be able to point me to information about the unit and, maybe, information about this musket? My son is now (like I was once) very interested in this weapon, the Civil War and a little history lesson would be great for both of us.Thank you.
