Civil War, Colt 1862 Percussion Rifle

Hi guys. I need your help in identifying the value of this inherited Civil War Rifle.
I heard from one gentleman that it may be a "Wall Hanger". And may be worth $700 to $800.

What do you guys think?

I'll see if I'm successful attaching the pics.

I would say worth much less than that in it's cut down condition. If still full length and complete it would be worth at least that amount.

Looks like a two band artillery musket. Metal is pretty rough tho so still not worth much more than that.

Thank you

Thank you gentlemen.
I appreciate your time.

I would go with 2 band artillery.

Colt only made three band rifle muskets, not two band. The only two band Colt rifles are the modern repros.

BTW, Colt never made a Model 1862 rifle, only a Model 1862 revolver.

AFAIK, What you have was originally designated the Model of 1861 Musket, made from 1861 through 1865.
