45Auto,
Now that is clever! Don't know I've ever seen one. (Or would be able to figure out just what it was if it wasn't mounted on the bayonet and rifle.)

And, yes, .69 cal. I'm pretty sure that it is one of the many foreign muskets that both the North and South bought from Europe during the Civil War. (I'm basing my guess on the whole batch of CW rifles that it was included with in a collection I came across)
