Is this a Burnside Carbine Rifle Hammer ??

Bought this many years ago from a Gunsmith/WWII Vet. If our memory is correct we were told this is for a Burnside Carbine Rifle. Very large, beautifully finished metal, never used? Main body measures approx. 2 7/8" tall, square mounting hole 9/32", hammer thumb piece 1/2" wide and hammer marked IAB or 1AB. Anyone know how to verify this for sure and does it fit other rifles? Thanks

catalog they sell lots of items for ANTIQUE guns have many pictures of those parts
Looks like a hammer for a reproduction sharps 45/70 by IAB (Pedretti).
I think you nailed it.Will try to make contact with them.
Thanks.
