No pictures but I'm trying to figure out the manufacture of a M1861 that I recently saw.

Top of barrel near tang has the VP, 1861 and an Eagle Head stamp.

I couldn't find any serial number or manufactures markings.

On the stock just below the trigger guard is a "P" in a circle stamping.

Anyone have a clue as to the manufacture? The rifle appears to be factory new,
if shot it wasn't used much.
