*The cap and Cartridge box were of the M1855 and black with no U.S. plate or embossing on. (We do accept our infantry boxes for this until you can update it ) the bayonet scabbard is the M1842 which will fit bayonets for the Enfield and Springfield.

*Marines were issued with the Harpers Ferry M1855 but in 1864 they were being changed to the M1863 however your 1861 Springfield will do.
