Joe, Its a Model 1861 Springfield pattern rifle musket. Should be .58 caliber.She's in tough shape but Savage in Middletown Conn.( not  the same Savage arms of the later 1800's or today) was not a major producer.In that shape she's probably worth $6-700.00.Most likely saw some mischeif in Lincoln's war...
