During the U.S. Civil War in the 1860's. Many of these ex Prussian muzzle loaders, were exported to U.S.. And purchased by the federal government, in great quantities for us by the Union forces. Generally they are known as, Potsdam muskets by U.S. collectors.
They are not especially rare, and would only substantial value. If in Very Good or better arsenal original condition.
