Need Help with Identification Navy Arms Co.

[GREZ55]

Need Help with Identification Navy Arms Co.
I think it is an early Navy Arms Co. (1960 ) 1841 Mississippi Rifle?
Barrel is 33" long.
Overall is 49" long.
Serial # 109
Barrel is Marked - XVI -- Antonio Zoli -- proof marks
Lock marked - 1960 -- Navy Arms Co.
.58 CAL.
Smaller patch box , front band and nose cap are different?
Here are some of the pictures.
THANKS for any help!!

Looks Like an 1863 "Zouave" rifled musket.

Zoli Zouave.

But it's actually a copy of the 1863 Remington.

Yours was made in 1960.

Italian date code XVI.

The walnut stock is a plus.

My thought too.
Most I have seen the nose cap and front barrel band where one piece.
Patch box was longer also.
Barrel date matches 1960 date on the back of the lock.

This is a copy of the 1863 Remington (Zouave). The 1841 Rifle (Mississippi) has a larger patch box and a front band which incorporates 2 bands over the barrel and no nose cap. Two entirely different animals. Some believe the Remington was influenced by the Mississippi.
