1861 Springfield two bands

[Duke]

I have an original 1861 that doesn't match any of the images online. Has two barrel bands clamped with no strap hardware no sign of being replaced, no band springs, eagle behind hammer, 1861 stamp ahead of hammer, no strap attachment on trigger guard, 119 stamped behind guard plate behind, ring attachment between last two screws, rear sight with three scallop level starting at the front also original sight. Bayonet lug, no observable part changes, no nipple clean out port. Anyone have a clue as to where it fits?

Most obvious, no lockplate indentation for cone seat with matching embellished design matching hammer, date stamp reversed to ahead of hammer, Springfield stamp behind. Don't see any of those differences in hundreds of online images as an at a glance diff.

That is clearly an Enfield rifle. Don't know the deal with the Federal Eagle replacing the Royal Armory crown mark.

It's an American made Enfield short rifle by JP Moore.

This appears to be an ‘M’ rifle. See Confederate long arms and Pistols. Richard Taylor Hill &William Edward Anthony. Pages 98-106. Possibly made by Murdock Morrison, from imported parts.

I had a couple great replies on my first post thanks a lot! M bears out perfectly as another reply stated why I couldn't find it in Springfield 1861, it isn't. Here's a couple pics of the stamps;

1861 Enfield 'M' it seems. Never would have found it searching images at many sites (can't afford the many books referred to, will try to search with what you gave me. Thanks Found this: Confederate "M Rifle" Enfield
Mine isn't the long rifle on that page and my hammer matches my lock plate and I resent : ) and refute the description of a half arsed hastily thrown together bunch of parts : ) My trigger guard has no hole and no front swivel (may have had one once?) And my escutcheons are in fine fettle. There's been no work on it for decades or ever other than cleaning out the bore and running an oil patch down, pipe clean the nipple recently. I haven't seen any barrel stamps so far. Thanks everyone for helping me solve my riddle!
